895-068-520-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 895-068-520-503 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for through-hole termination. It features 68 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) pitch and two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever spring contacts housed in a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator, rated UL 94V-0. It supports board thicknesses from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and includes top-mounting flanges with 0.156-inch diameter unthreaded holes.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm pin count and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness and mounting hole dimensions. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for assembly processes. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female interface with 68 pins is required. Ensure the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the 0.100 inch pitch and through-hole soldering process. Consider the operating temperature range and environmental conditions for material suitability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 895 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by the use of polyphenylene sulfide insulators and gold-plated contacts. It is designed for general-purpose electronic applications requiring durable and reliable connections. The 895 series offers various pin counts and configurations to suit different board densities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic equivalents may not match the precise contact force or insulation material properties. Ensure any substitute maintains the same pitch, pin count, and mounting characteristics.
