302-032-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-032-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, featuring 32 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. It utilizes gold flash plated cantilever contacts in a dual row formation for female mating. The housing is black polyamide (PA66/nylon 6/6) without mounting lugs. Designed for right-angle staggered installation via solder termination, it accommodates card thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30 to 1.80mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration with 32 gold flash plated cantilever contacts.
• Right-angle staggered design for compact board integration.
• Polyamide housing construction without integrated mounting lugs.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections.
• Industrial control system backplanes.
• Telecommunications equipment signal routing.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix indicates the right-angle staggered orientation and dual row format. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB stack-up height. Ensure the gold flash finish meets corrosion resistance requirements for the operating environment. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when high pin density is required within a limited vertical profile. The 1.27mm pitch allows for significant I/O count in small footprints. Right-angle mounting facilitates efficient cable management or adjacent component clearance. Verify that the cantilever contact type provides sufficient retention force for the intended card insertion cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and orientations. The 302-032-258-201 specifically addresses applications needing 32 connections with a 0.050-inch pitch. It complements other variants in the lineup by providing a right-angle solution for space-constrained designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 series parts with matching 32-position counts and 1.27mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications when considering cross-manufacturer alternatives. Ensure the replacement supports the same card thickness range and termination method.
