302-004-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-004-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge insertion. It features four female contacts with gold flash plating and a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), suitable for board edge or straddle mount installation. This component supports non-specified dual-edge cards and utilizes solder termination for secure PCB attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with four positions for compact circuit integration
• Gold flash plated cantilever contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Straddle mount design accommodates specific board thickness requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment internal module connections
• General purpose electronic assembly and prototyping

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as distribution channels may indicate restricted supply in certain regions. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to the exact contact count and plating specification required for your design. Ensure compatibility with existing inventory policies before finalizing purchase orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this part when a low-profile, dual-edge connector with fine pitch is necessary. Verify that the target PCB allows for straddle mounting clearance. Compare against other 302 series variants if higher pin counts are needed. Ensure the operating temperature range meets system environmental specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 302 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .050 inch contact spacing and versatile mounting options. It serves as a fundamental interconnection solution within EDAC's broader portfolio of high-reliability connectors used in demanding industrial and medical environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 302 series parts with matching pin counts, such as 302-006-256-201, provided the increased position count is acceptable. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before swapping components to ensure board layout compatibility.
