302-008-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-008-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features eight female contacts with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and gold flash plating. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), supporting board thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches. This through-hole mount connector utilizes cantilever spring contacts for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration accommodates non-specified double-sided circuit boards
• Cantilever spring contact design ensures secure mating engagement
• Gold flash plated terminals provide corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Polyamide insulation offers thermal stability and mechanical strength

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module connections
• Automotive electronic sub-assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against manufacturer documentation to confirm contact spacing and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges defined in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to integration into production workflows.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge connector with fine 1.27mm pitch is required. Consider the cantilever contact style for ease of insertion. Evaluate thermal operating range limits against application environment. Verify that the black PA66 housing meets aesthetic or regulatory requirements for the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to EDAC's 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by fine pitch options and robust mechanical designs suitable for high-density interconnect needs. It represents a specialized solution within the broader category of board-to-board and edge-mount connectivity systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-reference with other EDAC series such as 342 or 357 only if pitch and row configurations align with specific design constraints.
