896-006-541-102

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 896-006-541-102 is a standard card edge connector receptacle designed for single-edge board applications. It features 6 positions with a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) pitch and supports a maximum current rating of 3 A. The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, ensuring durability in high-temperature environments. It employs a solder pin termination method and is configured for vertical panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Single-row female contact configuration for standard card edge insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyphenylene sulfide housing provides thermal stability and mechanical strength

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Medical device circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal type and plating specifications against project requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the enclosure design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row connection is required for thin circuit boards. The 3.175 mm pitch suits applications needing moderate density without excessive height. Verify that the 3 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the specific circuit traces being connected.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 896 series of high-temperature card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of PPS materials and gold contacts, designed for reliability in demanding industrial and commercial environments where standard connectors may fail due to heat or corrosion.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical position counts and pitch but different termination styles, such as the 896-006-541-104 variant which offers wire wrap termination instead of solder pins.
