746-026-541-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 746-026-541-101 is a single-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 26 positions with a 0.125-inch (3.18mm) contact pitch. The connector utilizes female, cantilever contacts with gold plating and accepts non-specified single-edge cards ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches in thickness. Constructed with copper alloy contacts and a black thermoplastic polyester insulator, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row configuration with 26 female cantilever contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals ensure durable connection performance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides structural stability and thermal resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronic circuit board assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 746 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB layout dimensions and card thickness specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with 26 positions is required. Confirm that the application supports through-hole termination methods such as wire wrap or press-fit. Validate that the mating card thickness falls within the specified operational range for optimal contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 746 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations including dual-row options and different pin counts. The 746 series is characterized by its use of cantilever spring contacts and robust thermoplastic insulation suitable for general-purpose industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must match the 26-position count, single-row layout, and 0.125-inch pitch specifications to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
