302-014-621-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-014-621-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for board-to-board interconnection. It features 14 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes cantilever spring contacts with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The housing is black polyamide (PA66), rated for operation between -55°C and 85°C, and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever spring contact design ensures secure mating without soldering during insertion
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance
• Dual-edge configuration allows for high-density I/O connections on both sides of the card

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connectivity
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instruments needing reliable signal paths

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact finish and insulation material specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.051 to 0.071 inches. Ensure the mounting style aligns with the intended board assembly process. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm current production status and availability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual-edge female connector with fine pitch is required. The 0.050 inch spacing suits applications needing higher pin counts in limited space. Consider the cantilever contact type for ease of insertion and removal. Evaluate thermal requirements against the -55°C to 85°C operating range. Verify that the black PA66 insulation meets environmental and flammability standards for the end application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series of edgeboard connectors, which are characterized by their compact form factor and fine 0.050 inch pitch. The series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics where reliable, repeatable connections are essential. The 302 series offers various pin counts and configurations to accommodate different circuit board designs and density requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic equivalents may differ in contact material, plating thickness, or mechanical tolerances. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 0.050 inch pitch and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that replacement parts meet the same RoHS3 compliance and temperature rating specifications.
