Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required pin count and termination style. Request official datasheets to validate material certifications and RoHS compliance status prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 18-position interface with 2.54 mm spacing is required for single-edge PCBs. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +125°C operational limits. Verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the target enclosure system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 845 series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series is characterized by durable DAP insulators and reliable gold-plated contacts, suitable for demanding industrial and commercial applications where thermal resilience and long-term connection integrity are critical performance factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 845-series variants such as 845-015-541-604 or 845-020-541-604 if different position counts are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 2.54 mm pitch and single-edge compatibility.
