• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides thermal stability
• Through-hole installation with wire-wrap termination method

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Embedded computing modules needing high-density connections
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Telecommunications hardware backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and dual-edge configuration against system requirements before ordering. Confirm that the target PCB card thickness falls within the specified range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure wire-wrap tooling compatibility with the terminal type is available for production.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count dual-edge connector is required for vertical mounting. The 0.100-inch pitch allows for standard spacing in dense layouts. Consider the wire-wrap termination if automated or manual wiring processes are preferred over soldering. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure suitability for the intended environmental conditions. Compare against single-edge variants if space constraints differ.
