396-043-559-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 396-043-559-102 is a standard card edge connector from the 396 series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a single row of 43 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, suitable for reliable signal transmission. The connector accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing. This receptacle type is intended for high-reliability industrial environments requiring robust mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design for secure installation
• Gold-plated contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance
• Single row configuration with 43 positions
• Black PPS housing provides thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Test and measurement devices

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and specific packaging quantities through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Confirm lead times and availability directly with suppliers as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and housing color specifications to avoid functional mismatches.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 43-position vertical card edge interface is required. Verify that the mating PCB edge thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Consider the 3.175 mm pitch for trace routing compatibility. Ensure the application environment does not exceed the material temperature ratings defined in the datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 396 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 396-043-559-102 specifically denotes a 43-position female receptacle with gold contacts and a black housing. It is distinct from the 896 series which may offer different thermal or mechanical properties.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the EDAC 396 series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different housing colors or flange options, such as 396-043-559-104. Cross-series replacement requires verifying mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against the original design requirements.
