396-010-558-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-010-558-812 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical board-to-board or backplane connections. It features a dual female contact configuration with 10 positions arranged along a single edge. The connector utilizes a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch and is engineered to mate with PCBs having a thickness of 1.57 mm. Contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The housing is black, providing visual contrast and standard insulation properties suitable for general electronic applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure mating with card edge PCBs
• Vertical mounting orientation facilitates direct board insertion
• Gold-plated contacts provide durable electrical conductivity
• Standardized 3.175 mm pitch ensures compatibility with industry-standard cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust I/O connections
• Medical equipment interconnect solutions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required dual-edge female configuration and housing color. Ensure supply chain partners provide authentic EDAC Inc. products to avoid counterfeit components. Check current availability constraints as distribution may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 10-position vertical card edge interface is required. Ensure the target PCB has a thickness of 1.57 mm to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Verify that the application environment does not exceed the connector's rated temperature and current specifications. Consider the 396 series family for consistent mechanical dimensions across different position counts.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors, which offers a range of position counts and configurations. The series is widely used in industrial and medical applications due to its reliability and standardized form factor. The 396-010-558-812 specifically represents the 10-position variant within this lineup, maintaining consistent pitch and mounting characteristics across the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other 396-series parts with matching pitch and contact count. For equivalent performance, verify that replacement parts maintain the 3.175 mm pitch, 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility, and vertical mounting orientation. Cross-referencing with EDAC's official substitution guide is recommended for validated alternatives.
