302-032-358-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-032-358-201 is a dual-edge card edge connector from the 302 series, featuring 32 positions with female contacts. It utilizes a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) pitch and employs gold-plated cantilever spring contacts for reliable signal transmission. Designed for board edge mounting via solder termination, the connector accommodates PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66), ensuring durability within an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration with cantilever spring contacts for secure mating
• Gold-plated terminals ensure corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Polyamide insulation provides thermal stability and mechanical strength
• Solder termination supports standard surface-mount or through-hole assembly processes

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module interfaces
• Automotive electronic circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB edge thickness tolerances before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your manufacturing environment. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number 151-302-032-358-201-ND for accurate distributor identification.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact dual-edge interface with fine 1.27mm pitch is required. The cantilever contact design offers flexibility for slight misalignments during insertion. Verify that the black PA66 housing meets the thermal and chemical resistance needs of the application. Consider the 32-position count and female contact type for mating with male header or card edge assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which focuses on high-density card edge solutions. The series is characterized by its use of cantilever contacts, allowing for robust connections in space-constrained environments. The 302-032-358-201 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 32 channels with a standardized 0.050-inch grid spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC Inc. official cross-reference guide for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 0.050-inch pitch, 32-position count, and dual-edge configuration. Verify that alternative components support the same PCB thickness range and mounting style.
