302-006-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-006-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge non-specified cards. It features 6 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and gold flash plated contacts. The housing is black polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6), supporting card thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30 to 1.80mm). This right-angle receptacle utilizes cantilever contacts for board edge mounting and solder termination, operating within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Right-angle design facilitates compact vertical circuit board integration
• Gold flash plating ensures reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Cantilever contact type provides secure mating force for dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Medical device internal circuitry

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and housing variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB layout dimensions and card thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, right-angle connection is required for thin dual-edge cards. The 0.050-inch pitch suits high-density applications. Verify that the cantilever contact mechanism aligns with insertion force requirements and that the PA66 insulation material meets thermal constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with fine 0.050-inch spacing. The series offers various mounting options and contact configurations. The 302-006-258-201 specifically addresses needs for small-footprint, right-angle interfaces in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 series parts with matching pin counts and pitch. Cross-brand replacements require verifying identical mechanical dimensions, contact spacing, and electrical ratings to ensure functional interchangeability without redesign.
