746-010-525-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 746-010-525-101 is a single-row female card edge connector designed for vertical through-hole mounting. It features 10 positions with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish, ensuring reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from black thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female configuration for standard card edge applications
• Through-hole termination method for secure PCB attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Vertical orientation design for space-efficient integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Automotive electronic module assembly
• General-purpose computing hardware expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm contact plating thickness and insulation material variations. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required board thickness specifications and thermal operating range for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-sided connection is required for thin circuit boards. The 0.125-inch pitch offers robust mechanical stability compared to finer pitches. Consider the vertical mounting style if panel penetration or direct board-to-board stacking is not feasible within the enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 746 series, which provides a comprehensive range of card edge connectors. The series includes various row counts and termination styles, allowing designers to scale connectivity density while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and mating characteristics across different product lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 746 series variants with identical pin counts and pitch but different termination types. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of footprint dimensions, contact geometry, and locking mechanisms to ensure mechanical compatibility without redesigning the host PCB.
