302-026-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-026-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 26 positions with a female contact type and a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) spacing. The contacts are gold flash plated on copper alloy substrates, utilizing a cantilever spring design. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66) nylon. This component supports vertical staggered PCB mounting and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure the target application accommodates the specified 0.050-inch pitch and dual-edge card thickness requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with latest regulatory updates before final procurement approval.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-density connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 1.27mm pitch allows for compact board layouts compared to larger spacing alternatives. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the compatible range for the cantilever contact engagement mechanism.

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 and spacing options to suit different density requirements. The 302-026-221-201 specifically addresses needs for 26-position dual-edge applications with precise alignment features.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 Series parts with matching 26-position dual-edge specifications. Verify compatibility regarding contact spacing, plating type, and mounting style before substitution.
