887-036-523-612

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 887-036-523-612 is a high-temperature card edge connector featuring 36 positions in a single row with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and 0.200-inch (5.08 mm) row spacing. Designed for .062-inch (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, it utilizes a black PPS insulator body rated UL 94V-0. The connector employs copper alloy contacts with gold plating on the contact area and tin plating on the tail pins. It supports panel mount installation options including offset ears with Ø3.25 mm through-holes or M3-0.5 threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-temperature capability suitable for demanding thermal environments
• High-profile insulator body providing extended slot depth
• Gold-plated contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Versatile panel mount configurations with multiple ear options

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions requiring high reliability
• Agricultural technology equipment operating in harsh conditions
• Industrial control systems needing robust connections
• Energy sector applications with specific thermal requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific mounting configuration required for your application, as the 887 series offers various ear styles such as offset, flush, or lugless options. Confirm that the board thickness aligns with the .062-inch specification to ensure proper insertion force and retention. Check for any necessary anti-keying dividers or pre-installed rails if adjacent connectors are used. Ensure the selected variant matches the exact pin count and termination style needed for the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, high-temperature connection is required for standard thickness PCBs. Consider the 887 series for its high-profile body which allows for deeper board engagement compared to lower profile alternatives. Evaluate the available mounting hardware options, such as threaded inserts versus through-holes, based on the mechanical constraints of the enclosure. Verify compatibility with mating edgeboards regarding thickness tolerances and overall height restrictions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 887 Series, a line of high-temperature card edge connectors designed for durability in challenging environments. The series features PPS insulators and offers various terminal tail styles including plug-in, wire hole, wrap-around, and 90-degree bends. It is engineered for applications requiring stable performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with different position counts or mounting variations, such as 887-008-523-612 for an 8-position equivalent. Cross-series replacements like the 837 series may offer similar electrical characteristics but differ in insulator material (DAP vs. PPS). Always verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substituting.
