396-028-559-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-028-559-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical board-to-board connections. It features 28 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch and supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated to ensure reliable signal transmission. This dual-edge female connector is housed in black insulating material and is intended for secure mating with corresponding card edge assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for robust vertical interconnection
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Vertical mounting orientation for space-efficient circuit board integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions requiring durable connections
• Agricultural technology equipment connectors
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and insulation material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the dual-edge design aligns with the mechanical constraints of the assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest manufacturer datasheet to meet regulatory requirements for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge connection is required for 28-position circuits. The 3.175 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the host PCB. Verify that the housing color and flangeless design meet the aesthetic and mechanical enclosure requirements. Consider the gold plating for applications demanding high reliability over frequent mating cycles compared to tin alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options to accommodate different circuit density needs. The 396 series is characterized by its versatility in industrial and specialized applications, providing a balance between electrical performance and mechanical durability for standard board-to-board connectivity tasks.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical position counts and pitch, such as the 396-028-541-212. Verify that alternative models maintain the same vertical orientation and dual-edge female configuration to ensure mechanical interchangeability without redesigning the PCB footprint.
