895-056-525-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 895-056-525-203 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 895 series, designed for through-hole termination. It features 56 positions with a 0.100" (2.54mm) contact spacing and 0.200" (5.08mm) row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever contacts on a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator body, rated for operation between -40°C and +125°C. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062" (1.57mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• High-profile insulator body constructed from polyphenylene sulfide for enhanced durability.
• Gold-plated cantilever contact type ensures reliable signal transmission.
• Dual-edge receptacle design accommodates specified board thicknesses.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects.
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces.
• Medical devices needing reliable high-profile connectors.
• Consumer electronics with specific board thickness requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 895 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with specific flange or mounting requirements. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-profile, dual-edge female connector is required for through-hole assembly. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.200" row spacing and 0.100" pitch. Verify that the application environment stays within the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and that the PCB thickness matches the 0.062" nominal specification.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 895 series, which distinguishes itself by using polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) as the insulator material, unlike the 845 series which uses diallyl phthalate. Both series share similar contact configurations but differ in base polymer properties. The 895 series is generally preferred for applications requiring higher thermal stability and chemical resistance provided by the PPS material.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variations such as 895-056-525-101 or 895-056-525-203 alternatives with different suffix codes. Cross-series replacement with the 845 series requires verification of insulator material differences. Always consult the official datasheet before swapping components to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
