302-012-621-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-012-621-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 12 positions with a 0.050" (1.27mm) contact spacing and utilizes female contacts. The connector employs a non-specified dual-edge card type with gold-plated terminals to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66), providing durability in demanding environments. This component is intended for surface-mount or through-hole termination depending on specific tail configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge design accommodates non-specified card edge boards for versatile integration.
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance.
• Polyamide (PA66) housing ensures mechanical stability and thermal resilience.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Medical device internal circuit connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact termination style and tail configuration against the official datasheet before ordering, as variations exist within the 302 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the selected variant matches the specific PCB thickness constraints of your design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor listings to avoid confusion with similar pin counts or spacing options.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, dual-edge solution with fine pitch is required. The 0.050" spacing allows for high-density routing on smaller boards. Consider the gold plating for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Evaluate the PA66 material properties against your operating temperature range. Compare against other 302 series variants if different pin counts or termination methods better suit the specific application needs.
