895-084-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 895-084-555-212 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 895 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 84 positions with a 0.100-inch (2.54mm) contact spacing and two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy cantilever contacts housed in a black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) insulator rated UL 94V-0. It supports PCB thicknesses between 0.054 and 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 M3 threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with cantilever spring contacts for reliable board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable electrical performance
• Black PPS insulator provides high thermal stability and UL 94V-0 flame rating
• Integrated top-mounting flanges with M3 threaded holes facilitate secure panel installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard 0.100 inch pitch modules
• Consumer electronics assemblies needing high-reliability interconnects
• Medical devices demanding stable connections under varying temperatures

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 895 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor catalogs to avoid substitution errors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-sided female interface with 0.100 inch pitch is required for rigid board applications. The 895 series offers higher thermal resistance compared to lower-grade alternatives due to its PPS construction. Consider the through-hole termination method and right-angle orientation for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the need for top-mounting flanges if panel mounting stability is critical for the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 895 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 0.100 inch spacing. The series is characterized by the use of Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS) insulation, offering superior heat resistance compared to other materials like Diallyl Phthalate found in the 845 series. The 895 series is widely used in industrial and commercial applications where durability and thermal performance are prioritized.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variants with different pin counts or plating options, such as the 895-084-555-xxx family. For equivalent specifications, verify that replacement parts maintain the 0.100 inch pitch, dual-edge female configuration, and PPS insulator material. Always consult the official datasheet to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility before swapping components.
