396-026-555-812

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-026-555-812 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 26 positions with a contact spacing of 0.125 inches (3.18 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and is constructed with a black insulator body. It supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and offers vertical mounting orientation. This component is classified as a female connector suitable for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Vertical mounting orientation facilitates compact design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General electronic circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system modules
• Embedded hardware assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact termination type and insulator color. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 0.125-inch pitch aligns with the card edge design. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration into regulated products.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge female connector with 26 positions is required. The 0.125-inch pitch dictates the compatible card edge width. Verify that the vertical mounting style fits the enclosure constraints. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance if operating in demanding environments compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options. The 396-026-555-812 specifically addresses applications requiring dual-edge access with a moderate number of connections, offering a balance between density and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include part numbers with identical position counts and pitch but different termination or flange options, such as 396-026-541-812 or 396-026-556-201, provided the mechanical interface matches.
