Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal rating. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are mandated by project requirements. Ensure ordering quantities match manufacturer standard packaging limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, non-specified card edge connection is required with a 0.100-inch pitch. It is suitable for applications needing through-hole mounting without additional panel mounting hardware. Consider the operating temperature range and material compatibility with the target PCB substrate before finalizing the design integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to accommodate different circuit board densities. The 395-037-542-102 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density single-sided connections in compact electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching pitch, row count, termination type, and mechanical dimensions with alternative manufacturers.
