302-008-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-008-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board mounting. It features 8 positions with a female contact configuration and a 0.050" (1.27mm) spacing. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), and contacts are gold flash plated copper alloy with cantilever type terminals. It supports PCB thicknesses of 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board insertion

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official EDAC documentation to ensure compatibility with target PCB designs. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.051" to 0.071" range. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure storage conditions maintain component integrity prior to soldering.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, dual-edge interface with fine 1.27mm pitch is required. The gold flash finish offers corrosion resistance suitable for general environments. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C for thermal constraints. Verify mechanical fit against the mating card edge dimensions before integration into the system design.
