387-030-524-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-030-524-108 is a single-edge card edge connector from the 387 Series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions in a single row with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female cantilever contacts made of copper alloy, finished with gold plating. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever contact design ensures reliable mating and unmating cycles
• Gold-plated terminals provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator supports high-temperature operation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Single-sided non-specified card edge connections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 387 Series Ordering Guide to confirm flange type and pin count. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the full part number to avoid confusion with similar series variants that may differ in mechanical or electrical characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, single-edge female connector is required for boards between 1.37mm and 1.78mm thick. The 0.156-inch pitch dictates the trace spacing requirements on the mating card. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range for material integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 Series, which offers various configurations for card edge applications. The series provides options for different pin counts, flange styles, and contact arrangements. This specific model represents a standard vertical through-hole variant suitable for general-purpose industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring robust connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 387 Series cross-reference documentation for direct substitutes. Alternative parts must match the 30-position count, 3.96mm pitch, and single-edge female configuration. Mechanical dimensions and flange specifications must align to ensure proper fit within the existing enclosure constraints.
