302-016-256-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-016-256-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 16 positions with a contact spacing of 0.050 inches (1.27mm). The connector utilizes gold flash plated contacts and includes extender board tails in a dual-row formation. The housing is black and lacks mounting lugs.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with extender board tails for secure mating
• Gold flash plated contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Standard card edge design compatible with non-specified dual-edge boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Consumer electronics assemblies
• Digital system interconnections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify availability status as supply may be restricted in certain regions. Confirm that the ordering suffix corresponds to the specific gold flash plating and extender tail configuration documented in official datasheets. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 16 positions and 1.27mm spacing is required. The absence of mounting lugs necessitates alternative mechanical fixation methods. Verify that the application environment supports the standard operating temperature range and insulation material properties specified by the manufacturer.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 0.050-inch contact spacing. The 302-016-256-201 specifically addresses needs for moderate density connections in compact electronic assemblies requiring robust electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 302 series variants sharing identical 16-position, dual-row, and 1.27mm pitch specifications. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same gold flash plating and extender tail characteristics to preserve mechanical and electrical interface integrity.
