842-020-544-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 842-020-544-102 is a standard card edge receptacle featuring 20 positions with a 2.54 mm (0.100 inch) contact spacing and 5.08 mm row spacing. Designed for single-edge board insertion, it accommodates a nominal PCB thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It employs a through-hole vertical mounting style with solder lug termination to ensure secure mechanical attachment and reliable electrical connectivity.
