302-014-358-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-014-358-201 is a dual-edge card connector featuring 14 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. It utilizes female, cantilever contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Designed for board edge mounting via solder termination, the unit accommodates card thicknesses between 0.051 and 0.071 inches. The black insulator is constructed from polyamide (PA66), ensuring stability within an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with cantilever contact design for secure mating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Polyamide insulation provides thermal stability across wide temperature ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Embedded computing module interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required flange or termination style, as variations exist within the series. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Cross-reference the CAD model dimensions against your PCB layout to ensure mechanical fit before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fine pitch of 1.27mm is required for high-density signal routing on double-sided cards. Ensure the host board supports surface mount or through-hole soldering compatible with the specified termination method. Validate that the target application environment remains within the -55°C to 85°C operational limits defined by the polyamide material properties.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in low-profile, high-density card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its 0.050-inch spacing, catering to applications requiring compact form factors without sacrificing pin count. It serves as a standard solution for connecting peripheral modules to main logic boards in space-constrained electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 series variants with matching 14-position counts and 1.27mm pitch. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating card thickness specifications before swapping components.
