396-014-522-803

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-014-522-803 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical board-to-board connections. It features 14 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch and supports a maximum PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated cantilever type, ensuring reliable electrical performance. This dual-edge female connector includes flanges with top mount openings and floating bobbins to facilitate secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for robust signal transmission
• Cantilever contact type ensures positive mating force
• Flange design incorporates floating bobbins for alignment stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Vertical interconnection in industrial control systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm compatibility with required PCB thickness and mounting style. Ensure that the dual-edge configuration matches the target card design. Cross-reference the contact finish specifications to guarantee corrosion resistance requirements are met for the intended operating environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge connection is required for a 14-position interface. The 3.175 mm pitch dictates the necessary trace spacing on the mating card. Verify that the PCB thickness falls within the supported range of 1.57 mm to ensure proper mechanical engagement and contact retention during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 396 series is characterized by its reliability in high-vibration environments and standardized dimensions for easy integration into existing system architectures.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 396 series parts with matching 14-position counts and dual-edge configurations. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 3.175 mm pitch and vertical mounting orientation to ensure mechanical fit.
