302-008-658-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-008-658-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 8 positions with a female gender and 0.050" (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes cantilever contacts with gold plating and is intended for non-specified dual-edge cards. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The housing is black, constructed from polyamide (PA66), and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with cantilever contact type for secure board retention
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance in non-specified card applications
• Polyamide insulation housing provides durability across a wide operating temperature range

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Interconnection for non-specified dual-edge circuit boards
• Panel mount or cross-ride installations requiring precise signal routing
• Electronic assemblies utilizing 0.050 inch pitch connectivity standards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style variations. Ensure compatibility with target card thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor listings to confirm active status and RoHS compliance details. Confirm packaging quantities match project requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with 0.050 inch spacing is required for non-specified cards. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 0.051" to 0.071" range. Consider the -55°C to 85°C operating temperature limits for environmental suitability. Ensure the female gender and cantilever contact style align with mating interface requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by 0.050 inch contact spacing and is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The 302-008-658-201 variant specifically addresses low-pin-count dual-edge applications, offering a compact solution for signal interconnection in constrained spaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for verified alternative part numbers. Generic equivalents may not match the specific cantilever contact geometry or housing dimensions. Verify that any substitute maintains the 0.050 inch pitch and dual-edge compatibility.
