396-016-558-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-016-558-104 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical board-to-board or backplane applications. It features 16 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch and supports a single-sided card edge interface. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. This component accommodates PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm and utilizes a black insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical mounting orientation for secure board integration
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and durability
• Single-edge design compatible with standard card edge profiles

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Radar processing systems
• Digital oscilloscopes
• CMOS image sensor modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm mechanical variations such as flange presence or contact length. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and mating card dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the full part number with official EDAC documentation to avoid substitution errors due to minor specification differences.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical, single-edge interface with 16 positions is required. The 3.175 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the mating card. Verify that the application environment does not exceed the thermal ratings specified in the datasheet. Consider the black insulator material properties if chemical resistance is a factor in the deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
