837-017-542-103

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 837-017-542-103 is a standard card edge connector receptacle from the 837 High Temperature Series. It features 17 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for single-edge, non-specified cards, it utilizes female contacts with gold plating and a copper alloy base material. The unit employs a wire wrap termination method and supports through-hole mounting at a right angle. The insulator is constructed from green diallyl phthalate (DAP), providing reliable performance in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High temperature rated construction suitable for elevated thermal conditions
• Gold-plated female contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance
• Wire wrap termination provides secure electrical connections to printed circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high reliability
• Military and aerospace electronic assemblies
• Automotive electronics operating in harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and insulation color. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout regarding hole patterns and mechanical clearance. Confirm that the wire wrap termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities of the manufacturing facility before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-temperature capable card edge connector is required for single-sided modules. The 17-position configuration fits applications needing moderate I/O density with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the right-angle through-hole mounting profile for vertical board integration. Verify that the wire wrap termination is compatible with the available assembly equipment and design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 837 series, which is engineered for high-temperature stability compared to standard commercial connectors. The series typically utilizes DAP insulation for superior thermal resistance. The 837-017 variant specifically denotes the 17-position count within the family, sharing common mechanical dimensions and material properties with adjacent position counts like the 6 or 16-position counterparts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 837 series parts such as 837-016-542-103 or 837-018-542-103 if position count adjustments are permissible. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and wire wrap termination type to preserve mechanical and electrical interface integrity.
