Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized TE Connectivity channels or certified distributors. Confirm that the received part matches the specific 3-531341-0 designation, as this item is marked obsolete. Check for potential supply chain restrictions or alternative sourcing requirements due to end-of-life status. Ensure storage conditions comply with moisture sensitivity level specifications prior to assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a zero-insertion-force solution is required for dual-edge board applications. The 0.125-inch pitch accommodates specific board layouts requiring wider spacing. Verify compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Consider the thermal rating of -55°C to 85°C against environmental operating conditions. Evaluate the rotary cam actuation style against available mounting space constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the Rotary Cam series, which specializes in high-reliability edgeboard connections. It serves as a legacy component within TE Connectivity's portfolio, often found in established industrial designs. The dual-edge female gender allows for robust mating with corresponding male edge connectors on daughter cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available for this obsolete component. Engineering teams should evaluate current TE Connectivity edgeboard connectors with compatible pitch and form factor. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before implementing any alternative source.
