887-020-542-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 887-020-542-212 is a high-temperature card edge connector from the 887 series, designed for robust electronic interconnections. It features 20 positions in a single row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) terminal pitch and a 5.08 mm row spacing. The receptacle accommodates dual-edge cards with a thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm (0.054" to 0.070"). Constructed with a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator rated UL 94V-0, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +125°C. The contacts are copper alloy with gold plating, ensuring reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature PPS insulator for durability in harsh environments
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for low contact impedance
• Compatible with dual-edge non-specified card types
• Vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions
• Agricultural technology equipment
• Industrial control systems requiring high-temperature stability

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin configuration and termination style against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the target PCB or card thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by your manufacturing standards. Ensure the vertical mounting orientation aligns with your system's spatial constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-temperature rating up to +125°C is required for card edge applications. The 3.96 mm pitch makes it suitable for applications needing wider spacing between signals. Consider the dual-edge card compatibility if the mating board requires connection on both sides. Verify that the black PPS housing meets the environmental and flammability requirements of the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 887 Series, a line of high-temperature card edge connectors known for their reliability in demanding conditions. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, utilizing PPS insulators for superior thermal performance compared to standard materials. It is widely used in sectors like medical and agricultural technology where durability is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with different position counts or termination styles, such as 887-020-542-103. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and compatible card thickness. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.
