395-096-555-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-096-555-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 96 positions with a double-row configuration. It utilizes a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm). The connector employs gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base, housed in a black thermoplastic polyester insulator. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, it offers secure termination via solder pin technology.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Double-row receptacle design accommodating 96 contact positions
• Gold-plated suspension-type contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical mounting style suitable for panel integration
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation material for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic module connections
• Medical device circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact termination type and mounting hardware requirements. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 0.062" nominal tolerance. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to validate current availability and lead times before procurement planning.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density double-row interface is required for vertical panel mounting applications. The 0.100" pitch allows for standard trace spacing on typical PCB layouts. Consider the gold plating thickness for corrosion resistance needs. Evaluate the mechanical strength provided by the panel mount style versus surface mount alternatives based on vibration and stress requirements in the target environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in offering various position counts and termination options. The 395 series generally supports both single and double-row configurations, catering to diverse connectivity needs in electronics manufacturing. This specific model represents a high-position count variant within that lineup.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 395 series variants with matching 96-position double-row specifications. Verify compatibility regarding PCB thickness tolerance and mounting hole dimensions. Alternative manufacturers producing similar 0.100" pitch card edge connectors should be evaluated for mechanical fit and electrical performance equivalence.
