887-031-500-101

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 887-031-500-101 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 31 positions in a single row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission, housed within a black Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulator body rated UL 94V-0. Designed for vertical panel mount installation via solder pin termination, it supports a maximum operating temperature of +125°C and a minimum of -40°C. The unit provides a current rating of 3 A and maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature resistant construction utilizing Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) housing material suitable for demanding thermal environments.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contact system ensuring low contact impedance and durable electrical performance.
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination for secure mechanical integration.
• Compatibility with standard .062 inch nominal thickness single-edge printed circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-temperature stable interconnects
• Panel-mounted electronic modules needing robust card edge connections
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm exact termination style and mounting ear configuration, as variations exist within the 887 series. Confirm that the target application board thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range for optimal insertion force characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the required 31-position layout and single-row architecture before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-profile, single-row card edge connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96mm pitch suits applications where standard spacing is preferred over finer geometries. Consider the PPS material properties for environmental resistance and the 3A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the solder pin termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 887 series of high-temperature card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, all sharing common electrical ratings and material specifications. The 887 series is distinguished by its use of PPS insulators, providing superior thermal stability compared to lower-grade plastics used in standard series.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical position counts and termination styles but different mounting hardware suffixes. Cross-series replacements require matching the 3.96mm pitch and 1.57mm board thickness constraints. Verify that any alternative maintains the 3A current rating and -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.
