395-044-544-188

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-044-544-188 is a single-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 44 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54mm) pitch and utilizes female contact types. The connector employs gold-plated contacts on a black thermoplastic insulator, supporting board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. Rated for operation from -40°C to 105°C, it offers reliable signal transmission in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-sided non-specified card edge interface
• Gold-plated cantilever spring contacts
• Through-hole termination method
• Black thermoplastic polyester insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Automotive electronic modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct contact plating and termination style compatibility. Confirm that the target PCB design accommodates the required 0.100-inch pitch and single-row configuration. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are mandated for the final assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 44-position connection is required for boards up to 0.070 inches thick. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to 105°C temperature range. Verify that the through-hole soldering process aligns with the connector's thermal ratings and mechanical stability requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations for general-purpose interconnect needs. The 395-044 variant specifically addresses medium-density circuit board connections requiring robust mechanical retention and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 395-series parts sharing the same 0.100-inch pitch and 44-position count. Verify identical termination styles and contact materials before substitution. Ensure physical dimensions and flange characteristics match the existing enclosure constraints.
