837-068-560-803

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 837-068-560-803 is a dual female card edge connector from the 837 series, designed for high-temperature applications. It features 68 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses of 1.57 mm. The component utilizes copper alloy cantilever contacts with 10.0 µin gold plating and a green diallyl phthalate (DAP) insulator. Rated for -40°C to 125°C, it employs wire wrap termination and through-hole mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for robust double-sided board connections
• High-temperature resistant DAP insulator material ensuring stability in demanding environments
• Wire wrap termination method providing secure mechanical and electrical attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable high-temperature interconnects
• Automotive electronics utilizing double-sided circuit boards
• Aerospace and defense equipment with strict thermal performance requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 837 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and flange configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or EDAC Inc., as availability varies by region and production batch.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row connection is required for thicker PCBs up to 1.57 mm. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and wire wrap termination process. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to 125°C range for optimal performance of the DAP insulator and gold-plated contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

Part of the EDAC 837 High Temperature Series, which offers various position counts and configurations. This specific part number denotes a 68-position dual female variant. The series is characterized by its durability and suitability for harsh environments where standard connectors may fail due to thermal stress.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 837/887 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination styles. Cross-reference with other EDAC series if dual-row geometry is not strictly required, ensuring pitch and board thickness compatibility.
