846-045-522-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 846-045-522-101 is a standard card edge receptacle featuring 45 positions with a 3.175 mm pitch. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) insulator. The component supports a 1.57 mm board thickness and offers a 3 A current rating per contact. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and provides an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature resistant construction using Diallyl Phthalate insulator
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount configuration for secure PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-temperature stability
• Automotive electronics applications
• Aerospace and defense equipment
• Medical device interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '101' against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design requirements of the host enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 45-position connector is required for high-temperature environments. The 3.175 mm pitch accommodates standard thick card edges. Consider the DAP material properties for thermal stability and the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding operational conditions compared to lower-grade alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 846 Series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust materials suitable for harsh environments. The 846-045-522-101 represents a specific configuration within this family, defined by its position count and mounting style.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 846 series variants such as 846-045-522-104 or 846-045-522-604 if different termination styles are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 3.175 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance to ensure mechanical fit.
