• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Single-edge female contact design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Embedded system interconnects
• Microcontroller peripheral connections
• Industrial control module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating specifications, and flange options. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, single-edge connection is required for 15-position applications. Confirm that the 3.175 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge layout and that the gold plating meets the environmental durability requirements of the target assembly.

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, providing standardized solutions for board-to-board or board-to-cable connections in electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 396-series variants such as 396-010-520-878 or 396-020-520-202 if different position counts are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 3.175 mm pitch and vertical orientation.
