379-016-524-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 379-016-524-101 is a single-row card edge connector designed for vertical board-to-board or backplane applications. It features 16 positions with a 0.150-inch (3.81mm) contact pitch. The connector utilizes female cantilever contacts made of copper alloy, finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic polyester, rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation housing offers high thermal stability and UL94 V-0 rating
• Vertical through-hole mounting style ensures stable mechanical connection on printed circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Automotive electronic control unit connections
• Medical device internal board interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 379 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, contact finish, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the component status to confirm availability and check for any recent engineering change notices that may affect form, fit, or function.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 16-position connection is required with a 3.81mm pitch. Confirm that the application environment falls within the -40°C to 105°C operating range. Verify that the PCB stack-up accommodates the specified card thickness limits. Consider the vertical mounting orientation and through-hole termination method during mechanical layout planning.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 379 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series provides various configurations for different row counts and pitches. The 379-016 variant specifically addresses mid-density connectivity needs in compact electronic assemblies, offering a balance between pin count and board space efficiency.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 379 Series cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must match the 16-position count, 0.150-inch pitch, and single-row female configuration. Verify that any alternative maintains identical mounting dimensions and electrical characteristics.
