896-036-521-603

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 896-036-521-603 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 36 positions in a single row configuration. It utilizes a 3.175 mm (0.125 inch) contact pitch and is designed to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission and uses polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) for the insulator body, providing high thermal stability. Rated for 3 A current at an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms, it supports operation between -40°C and +125°C. This panel-mount device features vertical orientation and solder pin termination.
