379-064-520-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 379-064-520-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 379 series, designed for high-reliability applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 64 positions and a contact spacing of 3.81 mm (0.150 inches). The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure stable signal transmission. It is constructed with a black insulator housing and supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector is rated for a current of 3 A and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure expansion card insertion
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• High-temperature resistant housing material suitable for demanding environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing expansion modules
• Medical devices needing reliable signal integrity in compact form factors

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pin count, pitch, and termination style match your design requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and verify that the gold plating specification meets your environmental durability standards before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 64-position connection is required with a 3.81 mm pitch. It is appropriate for designs needing vertical mounting and through-hole or surface-mount termination options compatible with the 379 series. Consider the thermal rating and mechanical retention needs of the application to ensure long-term reliability under operational stress.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 379 series of card edge connectors, which are engineered for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to accommodate different PCB layouts. As a standard card edge connector, it facilitates modular system architectures by providing a durable interface between the mainboard and peripheral cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 379 series variants with identical 64-position and 3.81 mm pitch specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same dual-row female configuration and gold contact plating to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the PCB footprint.
