302-032-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-032-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for non-specified dual-edge cards. It features 32 positions with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes gold flash-plated contacts and is housed in black polyamide (PA66). It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure mating with non-specified circuit boards
• Gold flash plating on contacts ensures reliable electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Black polyamide housing provides structural integrity and thermal stability
• Vertical mounting configuration facilitates direct board-to-board or backplane integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing
• Automotive electronics module connections
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required pin count and spacing before ordering. Confirm that the receiving PCB accommodates the specified board thickness range. Ensure compatibility with the intended mating card edge profile. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your assembly process. Review datasheet specifications for operating temperature limits to ensure environmental suitability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.27mm pitch dual-edge connector is required for high-density applications. Consider the gold flash finish for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Evaluate the mechanical strength of the polyamide housing against vibration and thermal cycling stresses. Compare the 32-position capacity against available space constraints on the target printed circuit board layout.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with fine 0.050-inch spacing. The series offers various position counts to accommodate different signal routing needs. The 302-032 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a moderate density of connections within a compact footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 series parts with identical 0.050-inch spacing and 32 positions, such as 302-032-256-201 if extended tails are preferred. Cross-brand replacements must match the 1.27mm pitch, dual-edge female configuration, and compatible board thickness range to ensure mechanical fit.
