395-039-542-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-039-542-103 is a single-row card edge connector designed for vertical board-to-board connections. It features 39 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female, cantilever contacts made of copper alloy with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). It supports PCBs with a thickness range of 0.054" to 0.070" (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The housing is black thermoplastic polyester, and it offers top-mounting openings with M3 threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female contact configuration for standard card insertion
• Gold-plated cantilever contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides thermal stability
• Top-mounting flange with M3 threaded inserts for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required termination style and mounting options. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range to ensure proper contact engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the single-row configuration aligns with the circuit design requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical card edge interface is required. The 0.100-inch pitch suits general-purpose digital signals. Consider the cantilever contact type for ease of card insertion. Verify that the M3 mounting hardware fits the mechanical enclosure constraints. Compare against other series members if different row counts or termination methods are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 395-039 variant specifically addresses applications needing 39 circuits in a compact single-row format. It complements other EDAC solutions by providing a standardized mechanical footprint with reliable electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 395 series parts with identical pitch and contact count but different termination or mounting features. Cross-reference mechanical drawings to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and enclosure mounts. Verify electrical ratings match before swapping.
