387-086-540-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 387-086-540-812 is a standard card edge connector featuring 86 positions in a dual female configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and a 0.200-inch (5.08mm) row spacing. The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with a high-profile insulator body, it provides robust mechanical support for edgeboard applications requiring high-density interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• High-profile insulator body design for structural stability
• Gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Computing hardware motherboard connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, plating type, and mounting style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the dual-edge termination method aligns with the assembly process requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection with 86 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch allows for significant I/O density within a compact footprint. Verify that the application environment supports the standard operating temperature range and that the dual-edge termination suits the board layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to accommodate different board sizes. The 387-086 variant specifically addresses needs for moderate-to-high pin count applications in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 86-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge termination. Verify that alternative components maintain identical row spacing and PCB thickness acceptance to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
