896-044-526-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 896-044-526-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for high-reliability applications. It features 44 positions with a 0.125-inch (3.175 mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy substrate. The receptacle is constructed from black polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing, supporting panel mount installation at a vertical angle. This component accommodates standard board thicknesses and provides secure electrical interconnection for dual-sided card edge PCBs in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for robust connection to double-sided circuit boards
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) housing material provides thermal stability and durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable interconnects
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Medical device internal module connections
• Energy sector instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm contact plating specifications and housing color variants. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance and mounting style constraints for your assembly design before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge interface is required for higher density connections compared to single-edge alternatives. Consider the 0.125-inch pitch compatibility with existing PCB layouts and verify that the PPS housing meets the thermal requirements of the intended operating environment.
