Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pinout configurations and mechanical dimensions prior to integration. Ensure compatibility with mating board edge thicknesses and soldering profiles. Cross-reference the full part number including prefix variations if applicable, as minor suffix changes may denote different plating or packaging options without altering core functionality.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a straight, 164-position card edge interface is required for PCI or PCI Express architectures. Evaluate the need for solder termination versus other mounting styles. Confirm that the white insulator material meets thermal and environmental specifications for the intended operating conditions. Compare against alternative contact counts if system density requirements differ.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors line of card edge solutions. It serves as a critical interface between the motherboard and expansion cards in computing and industrial electronics. The 164-contact layout supports complex signal routing necessary for modern peripheral devices requiring substantial data bandwidth and power delivery through edge-mounted connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include variants such as 7-1734774-3 and 3-1734774-1 from the same manufacturer family. Verify that replacement parts maintain identical contact counts and straight orientation. Check for differences in plating thickness or insulator color which do not affect electrical performance but may impact visual inspection or inventory management.
