302-036-656-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-036-656-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 36 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating and is housed in black polyamide (PA66) insulation. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The component employs a solder termination method and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated cantilever spring contacts for reliable connection
• Black PA66 insulator housing for durability
• Solder termination for secure PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics internal module connections
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and contact length specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Check for any alternate pin configurations or mating partner requirements before finalizing procurement orders to prevent assembly mismatches.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, high-density interface is required for dual-edge cards. The 1.27mm pitch allows for compact circuit board layouts. Ensure the target PCB fabrication capabilities support the specified thickness range of 1.30mm to 1.80mm. Consider the operating temperature range if the application involves extreme environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in low-profile card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its fine 0.050-inch pitch and versatile mounting options. It is widely used in applications demanding reliable signal transmission in space-constrained environments, offering a balance between density and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 302 series variants with different position counts but identical pitch and housing dimensions. Cross-reference with competitors offering similar 1.27mm pitch dual-edge connectors, ensuring matching contact type, plating material, and PCB thickness tolerance.
