842-062-544-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 842-062-544-204 is a standard card edge connector designed for high-temperature applications. It features a dual female configuration with 62 positions and a 0.100-inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a green diallyl phthalate (DAP) insulator. Rated for 3 A current, it supports through-hole mounting with a right-angle orientation and wire wrap termination. The design accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm, ensuring reliable electrical connections in demanding industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact spacing, plating thickness, and termination style match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the target PCB board thickness and mounting orientation constraints defined in the engineering specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 2.54 mm pitch is required for high-temperature operation. The right-angle through-hole design suits space-constrained vertical mounting scenarios. Verify that the 3 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements and that the wire wrap termination method is compatible with the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 842 series of high-temperature card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic module interfaces. The 842 series is engineered for durability in harsh environments, utilizing robust materials to maintain signal integrity under thermal stress conditions common in industrial and medical applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variants with different position counts or termination styles. Cross-series replacements require matching pitch, current rating, and mounting orientation. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics against the original specification sheet to ensure functional compatibility without redesigning the host PCB layout.
