302-030-358-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-030-358-201 is a card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for double-sided board mounting. It features 30 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) pitch and a 0.200 inch (5.08mm) row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated cantilever contacts housed in black polyamide insulation. Rated for -55°C to 85°C, it supports PCB thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches and employs a solder termination method.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Double-sided contact configuration ensures reliable signal transmission across both edges of the circuit board.
• Cantilever spring contact design provides secure mating force and low insertion/extraction effort.
• Gold plating on contact surfaces enhances corrosion resistance and maintains stable electrical conductivity over time.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic assemblies requiring robust double-sided interconnects
• Industrial control systems operating within extended temperature ranges
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard 0.050 inch pitch interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact length and housing height specifications. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 directives and ensure the moisture sensitivity level aligns with your assembly process requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor lists to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30-position double-sided interface with a 1.27mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.30mm to 1.80mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Consider the black polyamide housing material and operating temperature limits during environmental assessment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in high-reliability card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of cantilever contacts and standardized 0.050 inch spacing, making it suitable for applications demanding consistent performance in harsh environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include the 302-012-256-201 for lower pin counts. Verify dimensional compatibility and contact material specifications before integrating alternative part numbers into existing designs.
