302-012-356-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-012-356-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for board edge mounting with a cross-mount configuration. It features 12 positions arranged in a dual row with a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating and a cantilever contact type, housed in black polyamide (PA66). It supports PCB thicknesses between 0.051" and 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female connector design with cantilever contacts for reliable board engagement
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable electrical performance
• Black PA66 insulator housing provides structural stability and thermal resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General-purpose electronic assemblies requiring board edge interconnection
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge modules
• Communication equipment infrastructure components

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 12-position dual-row configuration and 0.050-inch pitch before ordering. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.051 to 0.071 inches to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the supplier provides authentic EDAC Inc. products to guarantee specified material properties and dimensional accuracy.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-specified dual-edge card interface is required with a 1.27mm spacing. Consider the 302 series characteristics for applications needing cross-mount installation capabilities. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare contact finish options if corrosion resistance is critical, though gold is standard here. Assess mechanical retention needs as this model lacks integrated mounting lugs.
