302-004-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-004-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies. It features four female contacts arranged in a single row with a precise 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated terminals to ensure low contact resistance and durability against corrosion. Constructed with a black insulator, it supports through-hole right-angle mounting for secure PCB integration. This component is engineered to accommodate specific card thicknesses, providing stable mechanical retention and electrical continuity for dual-sided or non-specified card edge applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Gold-plated terminal finish ensures high conductivity and long-term reliability
• Right-angle through-hole mounting facilitates compact board layout integration
• Single-row female configuration provides standardized connection interface

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and row configuration against design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the target printed circuit board accommodates the right-angle through-hole footprint dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the specified card edge thickness range to guarantee proper mechanical retention. Cross-reference the gold plating specifications if environmental conditions require enhanced corrosion resistance beyond standard flash plating.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a low-profile, single-row connection is required for narrow card edge applications. The 0.050-inch pitch allows for high-density routing within limited board areas. Consider the right-angle orientation if vertical clearance is constrained but horizontal space is available. Evaluate the thermal performance of the through-hole termination method against soldering process capabilities.
