302-024-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-024-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge non-specified cards. It features 24 positions with a female gender and a 0.050" (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes gold flash plated cantilever contacts housed in black polyamide (PA66). It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C. The unit employs a surface mount termination method.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever contact design ensures reliable mating with dual-edge cards
• Gold flash plating provides corrosion resistance and low contact resistance
• Polyamide housing offers thermal stability and mechanical strength

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Consumer electronics internal board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to integration into production lines. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 1.27mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB layout accommodates the specified mounting type and terminal configuration. Validate that the operating environment remains within the stated temperature limits and that the card thickness falls within the supported range for optimal contact engagement.
