387-014-521-107

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-014-521-107 is a single-row female card edge connector from the 387 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and utilizes cantilever contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating. The unit accommodates board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-sided non-specified card edge interface
• Cantilever contact design for reliable insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Communication equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific flange configuration against project requirements, as the 387 series includes variants with different mounting hole diameters and thread types. Confirm that the target PCB stack-up falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch thickness range to ensure proper mechanical retention and electrical contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 14-position connection is required with a standard 0.156-inch spacing. Ensure compatibility with the target board thickness and verify that the operating environment remains within the -40°C to 105°C thermal limits defined by the thermoplastic polyester housing material.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and flange options to support diverse single and double-sided board applications. The 387-014 variant specifically addresses needs for moderate signal density in vertical through-hole assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 387-series parts such as 387-014-520-107 or 387-014-521-858 if alternative flange specifications are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and 14-position count.
