302-010-621-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-010-621-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 10 positions with a female contact type and a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) pitch spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base, housed in black polyamide (PA66) insulation. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge card edge design for secure vertical mounting
• Gold flash plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Cantilever spring contact type for low insertion force

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Medical device circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure correct termination style and plating specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.051 to 0.071 inch range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge connector with fine 1.27mm pitch is required. Ensure the application does not demand high current ratings beyond standard signal levels. Consider the black housing material for visual identification and verify compatibility with existing assembly tooling for cantilever contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options, primarily targeting general-purpose electronic interconnects where space efficiency and reliable mating cycles are prioritized over high-power handling capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 Series variants with matching 10-position count and 0.050 inch pitch, such as 302-010-256-201, provided the termination and plating requirements align. Cross-brand replacements require strict verification of dimensional tolerances and contact geometry.
