392-046-559-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 392-046-559-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 392 Series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 46 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes a double female configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a black thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports PCB thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The unit employs a panel mount style with flanges for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board retention

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, contact type, and termination method. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range. Confirm that the dual-edge female configuration matches the mechanical requirements of the host assembly before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for robust signal integrity in panel-mounted applications. The 2.54mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meets environmental demands. Ensure the housing material compatibility with the assembly's thermal profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 392 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 392-046-559-203 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge interfaces with high durability. It complements other single-row or different pitch variants within the broader EDAC interconnect portfolio.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 392 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Cross-reference compatible parts from the same manufacturer family to ensure form-fit-function equivalence without redesigning the host panel.
