387-023-542-608

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-023-542-608 is a single-row card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 23 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The connector utilizes copper alloy cantilever contacts with gold plating, housed in black thermoplastic polyester insulation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes flanges with top mount openings.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 387 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact flange configuration and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions and verify RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement approval.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, high-density connection is required with standard 0.156-inch spacing. Confirm that the target circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Evaluate the need for threaded versus non-threaded flange options based on assembly constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for durability in harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and flange configurations to support diverse board-to-board and board-to-panel applications across industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 387 Series cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any alternative maintains identical pin count, spacing, and electrical ratings to guarantee mechanical fit and functional equivalence.
