395-020-541-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-020-541-108 is a single-row card edge connector designed for vertical PCB mounting. It features 20 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The contacts are female, made of copper alloy with gold plating, and utilize a cantilever design. Termination is achieved via soldering through a through-hole mount. The insulator is black thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical through-hole mounting configuration for standard card edge applications
• Cantilever contact design ensures reliable electrical connection to the board edge
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal transmission
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Automotive electronics sub-systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target printed circuit board has a thickness of exactly 0.062 inches (1.57mm) to ensure proper mechanical fit and contact engagement. Confirm that the assembly process supports vertical through-hole soldering methods compatible with the specified termination style. Ensure the mating card meets the single-edge specification required by this connector type.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical orientation is required for a 20-position interface. The 0.100 inch pitch is standard for many legacy and industrial designs. Consider the gold plating thickness if long-term reliability in harsh environments is critical. Verify that the thermal rating of -40°C to 105°C aligns with the operational environment of the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series, which offers a range of card edge connectors with varying position counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by its use of cantilever contacts and standardized 0.100 inch pitch dimensions. This specific model represents a mid-range position count within the single-row vertical mounting category.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 20-position count, single-row layout, vertical mounting angle, and 0.100 inch pitch. Contact material and plating specifications should be equivalent to ensure similar performance characteristics.
