887-012-521-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 887-012-521-204 is a standard high-temperature card edge connector from the 887 series. It features 12 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 5.08 mm (0.200 inch) row pitch. Designed for nominal 1.57 mm (0.062 inch) PCB thickness, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The connector supports a current rating of 3 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature resistant construction using Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material rated UL 94V-0
• Dual-edge card interface designed for robust mechanical engagement with standard PCB thicknesses
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and low contact impedance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring thermal stability
• Communication equipment interfaces
• Medical device circuit board connections
• Energy sector electronic assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style and mounting option suffix against the official EDAC datasheet, as these variants define the physical interface. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor documentation before procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the required panel mount or through-hole installation method for your assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with high thermal resistance is required. The PPS insulator body provides superior performance compared to standard thermoplastics in elevated temperature environments. Ensure the mating PCB has a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm to guarantee proper insertion force and retention characteristics during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 887 series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series offers various pin counts and termination options, all sharing common electrical ratings and thermal specifications. It serves as a specialized solution for applications where standard connectors may fail due to heat exposure or harsh operating conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 12-position dual-row layout, 3.96 mm pitch, and PPS housing material. Verify that any alternative component maintains the same 3 A current rating and -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range to ensure functional equivalence.
