842-050-542-104

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 842-050-542-104 is a standard card edge connector designed for single female mating configurations. It features a contact spacing of 0.100 inches (2.54 mm) and a row spacing of 0.200 inches (5.08 mm). The component accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It utilizes gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and includes a high-profile insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single female configuration for card edge board mating
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity
• High-profile insulator body design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Electronic equipment requiring panel-mounted interconnects
• Industrial control systems utilizing card edge modules
• Communication infrastructure hardware integration

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the single-row female configuration aligns with the system's mechanical and electrical requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a vertical, panel-mount interface is required for a 50-position single-row application. The 0.100-inch pitch suits general-purpose digital and analog signals. Consider the high-profile housing for adequate clearance and strain relief in dense panel layouts compared to low-profile alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 842 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for industrial applications. The 842 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating integration into modular electronic assemblies requiring reliable board-to-panel connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 842 series variants for different position counts or termination styles. Verify that any substitute maintains the 0.100-inch contact spacing and 0.062-inch board thickness acceptance to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity without redesigning the host panel.
