387-032-520-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-032-520-103 is a single-row female card edge connector with 32 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. Designed for through-hole mounting, it features gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a black thermoplastic polyester insulator. The unit supports board thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female configuration with cantilever contacts
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation rated for high temperatures

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific flange configuration against the official datasheet before ordering, as the 387 series includes various mounting options such as top-mount openings or threaded inserts. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to ensure proper mechanical engagement and electrical contact stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for vertical through-hole assembly. It is suitable for applications needing robust thermal performance up to 105°C and durable gold-plated contacts. Ensure the design accommodates the specific flange dimensions provided in the manufacturer's dimensional drawing for secure panel or chassis mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for general-purpose electronic applications. The series offers various position counts and flange configurations to support diverse board-to-board and cable-to-board connectivity requirements across industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 387 series variants with matching 32-position counts and 0.156-inch pitch, such as 387-032-520-103 equivalents. Verify identical flange styles and termination types to maintain mechanical compatibility without redesigning the host PCB footprint.
