395-018-524-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-018-524-208 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical board-to-board or backplane applications. It features an 18-position configuration with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch, accommodating a printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and low contact resistance. Constructed with a black insulator, this dual-edge female connector belongs to the 395 series, providing a robust mechanical interface for electronic assemblies requiring high-density interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge guide dimensions and hole placement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest regulatory requirements for your region before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-row card edge interface is required with a standard 2.54 mm pitch. Confirm that the application environment does not exceed the thermal ratings specified in the official documentation. Evaluate the mechanical retention needs against the connector's locking mechanism capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in general-purpose electronic applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse PCB layout requirements across consumer, industrial, and communication sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC substitution guide for verified equivalent part numbers. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other manufacturers' card edge connectors without verifying pinout, pitch, and mechanical footprint alignment.
