302-026-656-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-026-656-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 26 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing across two rows. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and includes extender board tails for secure mounting. The housing is black and lacks mounting lugs, relying on the board edge for support.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 26 female positions for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold flash plated contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity
• Extender board tails provide mechanical stability during insertion

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Medical interconnect solutions as part of comprehensive connector ranges
• General electronic equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify availability through authorized distributors as stock levels may be restricted. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required contact count and plating thickness. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range before finalizing procurement orders to prevent mechanical fit issues.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile dual-edge connector with extender tails is required. The 1.27mm pitch suits high-density layouts. Verify that the application does not require mounting lugs, as this variant relies on board retention. Consider the operating temperature range if used in extreme environments.

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. The 302-026-656-201 specifically addresses the need for 26-position dual-edge connectivity with extended tail features for enhanced mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different position numbers or housing variations. Cross-series replacements require matching the 1.27mm spacing and dual-edge interface specifications carefully.
