887-018-521-608

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 887-018-521-608 is a high-temperature card edge connector from the 887 Series, designed for single-edge board applications. It features 18 positions with female contacts and a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm). Constructed with a black Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulator body and copper alloy contacts, it offers gold plating on the contact interface. The unit utilizes a solder pin termination method for vertical panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature rated construction using Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation material
• Single-row female contact configuration with gold-plated copper alloy terminals
• Vertical panel mount design with offset mounting ears for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-temperature electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge connections
• Panel-mounted systems utilizing 0.062 inch nominal thickness PCBs
• Industrial control units operating within extended thermal environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tail style and mounting ear configuration against the official datasheet to ensure mechanical compatibility with the target chassis. Confirm that the required temperature rating aligns with the component's specified operational range. Cross-reference the ordering suffix to validate the exact termination type and flange characteristics before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, high-temperature card edge connector is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the application PCB thickness matches the 0.062" (1.57mm) nominal specification. Consider the PPS material properties for environmental resistance and verify that the 18-position count fits the signal routing requirements without exceeding available space constraints.
