396-030-540-678

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-030-540-678 is a single-edge female card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 30 positions with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) pitch and utilizes wire wrap termination. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold finish, housed in black thermoplastic polyester insulation. It supports board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for non-specified single-edge boards
• Wire wrap termination method for secure circuit attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation providing thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Medical device circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status via current manufacturer datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve over time.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-edge interface with a 0.125-inch pitch is required. The wire wrap termination suits applications where traditional soldering is not preferred. Verify that the 30-position count aligns with signal routing needs and that the vertical mounting orientation fits the mechanical enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 396-030-540-678 specifically denotes a 30-position single-edge variant with gold contacts and wire wrap termination, distinct from dual-edge or different pitch alternatives in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the EDAC 396 series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different termination styles or plating thicknesses. Cross-manufacturer replacements require matching the 0.125-inch pitch, 30-position layout, and vertical through-hole mounting profile.
