395-072-523-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-072-523-812 is a card edge connector designed for single-sided board insertion. It features 72 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating and a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). It employs a cantilever contact type and supports wire wrap termination. The housing is black thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. It accepts board thicknesses from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Validate that the single-sided design aligns with the intended board edge geometry. Cross-reference part numbers to avoid confusion with dual-edge variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-sided connection is required for boards within the specified thickness range. The 72-position count suits applications needing moderate density without excessive footprint. Verify that the wire wrap termination capability matches the assembly process. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.

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 options. The 395-072 variant specifically addresses needs for 72-channel interfaces. It complements other models in the lineup by providing a single-sided solution. The series is widely used across multiple industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers with identical 72-position, single-sided, wire wrap specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact spacing match exactly. Check for equivalent material properties and plating thickness. Consult official cross-reference guides for approved alternatives.
