387-062-542-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-062-542-812 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 62 positions with a 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a black thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports through-hole vertical mounting and wire wrap termination. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and carries RoHS compliance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical through-hole mounting with wire wrap termination style
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Computing hardware peripheral modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, plating thickness, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and mounting hole specifications. Confirm RoHS status requirements align with project environmental standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 62 positions is required. The 0.156 inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard 0.100 inch connectors. Verify that the wire wrap termination method matches the assembly process capabilities and that the vertical orientation fits the enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 387 series is widely used in general-purpose electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical connection between circuit boards and backplanes or chassis systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 62-position count and 0.156 inch pitch. Verify identical dual-edge female contact geometry and vertical through-hole mounting requirements. Ensure replacement parts maintain compatible wire wrap termination styles and housing material properties.
