302-012-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-012-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 12 positions with female contacts arranged in two rows. The contact spacing is 0.050 inches (1.27 mm), and the housing is black polyamide (PA66). Contacts are copper alloy with gold flash plating. It supports PCB thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30 to 1.80 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 12 female contacts for secure vertical staggered PCB mounting
• Gold flash plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Black polyamide insulation housing provides structural stability
• Compatible with non-specified dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Vertical staggered printed circuit board connections
• Industrial control system interconnects
• Medical device internal wiring
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 12-position dual-edge specification. Confirm the gold flash contact finish and PA66 housing material align with environmental requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.30 mm to 1.80 mm before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge connector with 1.27 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing robust mechanical retention without mounting lugs. Consider the -55°C to 85°C operating range for environmental suitability. Verify that the non-specified card type meets the design interface needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which offers various position counts and configurations. The series is characterized by its compact size and reliability in standard card edge applications. The 302-012-221-201 variant specifically addresses the need for 12-position connectivity with dual-edge support.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 Series connectors with matching 12-position dual-edge specifications. Cross-referencing with similar pitch and row configurations from other manufacturers requires careful verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.
