EDAC, Inc. Edgeboard Connectors 345-080-556-203

The Card Edge Connector, Dual Side, 80Pos, Th, part number 71AJ1478, features a 0.100,Äù (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for use with a 0.062,Äù (1.57mm) nominal thickness printed circuit board. It has a high-profile insulator body measuring 0.600,Äù (15.24mm) and supports various contact termination options including P.C. tail and wire wrap. The connector is constructed from UL 94V-0 thermoplastic polyester and utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating on the mating area and tin plating on the tails, ensuring durability and reliability. 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 at sea level between adjacent contacts and has a minimum insulation resistance of 5000 megaohms. The operating temperature range is from -40¬8C to +105¬8C. The connector also offers multiple mounting options, including flush or offset lugs, and is RoHS compliant and UL certified. Engineers should consider this connector for applications requiring reliable electrical connections in compact spaces, particularly where dual-side access is beneficial.
