396-030-522-608

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-030-522-608 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical board-to-board connections. It features 30 positions with a single row configuration and a 0.125-inch (3.175 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating over nickel, ensuring reliable signal transmission. It is engineered for PCBs with a thickness of 1.57 mm and employs solder terminals for secure mounting. The insulator is constructed from black thermoplastic polyester, providing durability and electrical insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical installation orientation for direct board connection
• Gold-plated female contacts for enhanced conductivity
• Single-edge design compatible with standard PCB thicknesses
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical device internal circuitry connections
• Communication equipment backplane interfaces
• Consumer electronics mainboard assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor data sheets prior to procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical card edge interface is required. The 30-position count suits moderate-density applications. Verify that the 0.125-inch pitch aligns with the mating card edge dimensions. Consider the gold plating requirement for corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

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 for diverse electronic assembly needs. EDAC provides comprehensive support including ECAD models and dimensional drawings to facilitate seamless integration into printed circuit board designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different suffixes indicating variations in flange options or termination styles. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.
