Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout and mating card dimensions before finalizing procurement orders. Cross-reference the component status to confirm active production availability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 1.27mm pitch is required for dual-edge card applications. The 26-position count suits moderate density needs. Verify that the target system operates within the specified temperature range and that the solder termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its fine 0.050-inch spacing and versatile mounting options. The 302-026-258-201 variant specifically addresses applications needing a balanced balance between pin count and compact footprint in dual-edge configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 302 series parts with matching 26-position counts and 1.27mm spacing, such as the 302-026-256-201 or 302-026-299-201, provided the termination style and housing color requirements are met.
