EDAC, Inc. Edgeboard Connectors 345-040-500-101

The Card Edge Connector, part number 68AJ4026, is a single row connector featuring 40 positions with a 0.100,Äù (2.54mm) pitch. It is designed to accommodate a nominal PCB thickness of 0.062,Äù (1.57mm) and has a high-profile insulator body measuring 0.600,Äù (15.24mm). The connector is constructed from UL 94V-0 thermoplastic polyester and utilizes copper alloy for the contacts, which are plated with gold on the mating area and tin on the tails, with nickel underplating for durability. This connector has a current rating of 3 amps and a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms. It can withstand a dielectric voltage of 1200 V AC rms and has an insulation resistance of at least 5000 megaohms. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to +105¬8C. The insertion force is limited to 16 oz (4.45 N) per contact pair, while the withdrawal force is a minimum of 1 oz (0.28 N) per contact pair. The connector offers various mounting options, including flush or offset lugs, and supports multiple termination types such as P.C. tail and wire wrap. It is RoHS compliant and UL certified, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in electronic devices.
