395-016-559-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-016-559-503 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 16 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 32 contact points. The connector utilizes a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished with gold plating, the unit ensures reliable signal transmission. The insulator is made of black thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates double-sided card edge PCBs
• Vertical orientation facilitates direct board-to-board or chassis interconnection
• Gold-plated spring clip contacts provide secure retention and low resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation offers thermal stability and durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment modules
• Embedded computing hardware interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a dual-edge connector compatible with double-sided PCBs, as single-edge variants differ structurally. Confirm the PCB thickness matches the specified 0.062-inch nominal requirement to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the vertical mounting style aligns with the assembly layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection is needed on a double-sided card edge. The 16-position count suits moderate I/O requirements. Consider the vertical form factor for space-constrained enclosures where horizontal connectors are impractical. Verify that the 0.100-inch pitch matches the PCB trace spacing. Evaluate the operating temperature range against the environmental conditions of the deployment site.
