Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact finish and housing variations. Ensure compatibility with mating card edge thickness specifications before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence in target markets. Cross-reference the latest revision history to account for any manufacturing updates or component substitutions that may affect mechanical fit or electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust dual-row connectivity with high current capacity. The 2.54 mm pitch offers standard spacing compatibility with common PCB layouts. Gold plating ensures low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Evaluate thermal requirements against the specified operating temperature range. Consider the through-hole mounting style for mechanical stability in vibration-prone environments compared to surface mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the standard card edge connector category within the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors portfolio. It serves as a header component designed to mate with corresponding card edge connectors. The dual-row arrangement allows for increased pin density within a compact footprint. It is engineered for general-purpose electronic interconnection tasks where reliability and standardized dimensions are critical for system integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain identical 50-position dual-row configuration and 2.54 mm pitch. Verify matching current ratings and gold contact finishes for equivalent performance. Mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns must align precisely. Consult official cross-reference lists for verified alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer series.
