725-122-545-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 725-122-545-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 725 Series, designed for press-fit termination. It features 122 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch. The contacts are cantilever type made of copper alloy with gold plating. The housing is black thermoplastic polyester, accommodating board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. Rated for -40°C to 105°C, it supports non-specified dual-edge cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Utilizes press-fit termination method for secure panel mounting without soldering.
• Employs cantilever contact design to ensure reliable engagement with dual-edge cards.
• Constructed with gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.
• Features a thermoplastic polyester insulator rated for high-temperature environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust backplane connections
• Telecommunications equipment with high-density signal routing needs
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules demanding reliable press-fit assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target printed circuit board utilizes a press-fit installation process compatible with this component's termination style. Confirm the card edge thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to ensure proper mechanical retention. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if operating in regulated regions. Ensure the mating card is a non-specified dual-edge type matching the 122-position configuration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-pin-count dual-edge interface is required with press-fit mounting capabilities. The 0.100-inch pitch provides standard spacing for dense layouts. Consider the 122-position count for applications needing extensive signal or power distribution across two rows. The gold plating offers durability for repeated insertions if applicable, though press-fit is typically permanent.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to EDAC’s 725 Series Ultra-Mate line, specialized for press-fit card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its reliability in harsh environments and compatibility with standard dual-edge boards. The 725-122 variant specifically addresses high-density interconnect needs within industrial and commercial sectors where soldering is impractical.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching press-fit termination, 122 positions, dual-edge configuration, and 0.100-inch pitch specifications.
