895-012-558-612

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 895-012-558-612 is a standard card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 12 positions and a contact spacing of 0.100 inches (2.54mm). The row spacing measures 0.200 inches (5.08mm), accommodating printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed within a high-profile black insulator body made of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). It is rated for a current of 3A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

• Accepts nominal 0.062 inch PCB thickness for standard board compatibility

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment interfaces
• Medical device internal connections
• Consumer electronics assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm pin count, plating specifications, and mounting style. Ensure the target application requires a female receptacle type compatible with single-edge or double-edge cards as specified in the datasheet. Cross-reference environmental compliance status such as RoHS and REACH requirements with project constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-position dual-row connection is required with a 0.100-inch pitch. The 0.200-inch row spacing and high-profile design are suitable for applications needing increased clearance above the board surface. Verify that the operating environment falls within the -40°C to 125°C thermal range and that the 3A current rating meets the circuit demands.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 895 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 895 series is characterized by its use of PPS insulation and gold-plated contacts, providing durability and consistent performance across industrial and commercial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with identical electrical and mechanical parameters but different position counts, such as the 895-010-558-612 or 895-033-558-612. Ensure any replacement maintains the 0.100-inch pitch and 0.200-inch row spacing to fit existing board layouts without modification.
