Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status prior to ordering, as manufacturing processes may evolve. Confirm that the procurement channel is an authorized TE Connectivity distributor to guarantee authenticity. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements if applicable. Cross-reference the part number with official TE documentation to confirm current production status and availability constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a 98-position interface is required for PCI Express compliant designs. It is suitable for applications needing dual-sided signal access via a single card edge. Consider the 1.00 mm board thickness constraint during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management needs as surface mount components dissipate heat through the solder joints and PCB copper planes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
