302-024-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-024-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes female contacts with a gold flash finish over a nickel barrier, mounted via a solder termination method. Constructed with a black polyamide (PA66) housing and copper alloy contacts, it supports PCB thicknesses between 0.051 and 0.071 inches. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and is RoHS3 compliant.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with vertical staggered PCB tails for secure mounting
• Gold flash plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Polyamide (PA66) insulation material provides structural stability
• Solder termination facilitates direct printed circuit board integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General-purpose electronic interconnects
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment
• Consumer electronics assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and termination style. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.051 to 0.071 inch range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the application environment remains within the -55°C to 85°C operational limits. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to the final product assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 24 positions is required. The 0.050-inch pitch suits high-density layouts. Consider the gold flash finish for corrosion resistance. Verify that the non-specified dual-edge card type matches the mating hardware. Ensure the through-hole solder termination aligns with the manufacturing process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which offers various position counts and configurations. The series is characterized by its standard card edge design and robust construction. Similar parts in the lineup may differ in pin count or contact finish, such as tin variants. The 302 series is widely used in general interconnect applications requiring reliable board-to-board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 302 series connectors for alternative pin counts. Verify compatibility with mating cards before substitution. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch and dual-edge specification. Consult official EDAC documentation for exact dimensional tolerances.
