302-006-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-006-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge non-specified cards. It features 6 positions with female contacts and a 0.050" (1.27mm) spacing. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), and contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with flash finish. It supports board thicknesses of 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm). Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to 85°C. The connector utilizes a cantilever contact type and mounts via board edge, straddle mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration accommodates non-specified card types with reliable signal transmission
• Cantilever contact design ensures secure mating and low insertion force
• Gold flash plating on copper alloy contacts provides corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Straddle mount installation offers stable mechanical support without mounting lugs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring compact interconnects
• Consumer electronics utilizing small form factor boards
• Telecommunications equipment with limited space constraints
• Medical devices needing reliable signal connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required pin count and series before ordering. Confirm compatibility with the target card thickness range of 0.051" to 0.071". Ensure the manufacturing date code aligns with project timelines due to potential lead times. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Validate packaging quantity against inventory requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Choose this model when a dual-edge connector with 0.050" spacing is necessary for non-specified cards. Consider the -55°C to 85°C operating range for environmental suitability. Evaluate the straddle mount style for board stability needs. Compare against single-edge alternatives if space allows. Verify that the gold flash finish meets long-term reliability standards for the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to EDAC's 302 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and spacing options. The 302-006 variant specifically addresses applications requiring six connection points. It complements other EDAC products like the 342 and 355 series for diverse interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and spacing. Cross-series replacements may require mechanical re-evaluation due to different mounting styles or dimensions. Always verify electrical parameters and physical footprint compatibility before swapping components.
