395-042-520-108

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-042-520-108 is a single-row female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 42 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and gold-plated contacts. The unit utilizes wire wrap termination and accepts PCBs with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Constructed with a black thermoplastic polyester insulator, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Wire wrap termination method for secure circuit board attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount design with top-mounting flange openings

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic module interfaces
• Test and measurement instrument connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct insulation material and plating specifications. Confirm that the target application requires wire wrap termination rather than solder variants. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure mechanical compatibility with the designated card thickness range before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with 42 positions is required for vertical mounting applications. The 0.100-inch pitch suits standard density requirements for signal routing. Verify that the host system supports wire wrap assembly processes. Consider the operating temperature range and insulation material properties relative to the environmental conditions of the intended deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of edgeboard connectors, which are engineered for robust performance in demanding environments.
