395-098-555-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 395-098-555-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 345/395 series, designed for single-sided board applications. It features 98 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating and employs a cantilever contact type for reliable engagement. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm (0.054" to 0.070"). The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester and is black in color. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and includes top-mounting openings with M3 threaded inserts for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, contact material, and mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status through the latest certified documentation provided by EDAC Inc. prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 98-position interface is required for single-sided card edge applications. The 2.54 mm pitch accommodates standard routing densities. The M3 mounting feature provides superior mechanical retention compared to snap-fit alternatives. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the specified 0.054" to 0.070" range to guarantee proper contact engagement and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 395 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors for harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 395-098-555-558 variant specifically addresses needs for high-pin-count, single-sided connections with reinforced mechanical mounting capabilities using threaded inserts rather than simple surface mount or press-fit methods.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 395 series parts sharing the same 98-position count and 2.54 mm pitch. Verify that alternative candidates match the single-sided card requirement and possess compatible M3 mounting hole patterns. Contact manufacturers directly for confirmed substitute part numbers.
