302-036-658-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-036-658-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 36 positions with a female contact configuration and a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy cantilever springs, housed in black polyamide (PA66) insulation. This component supports right-angle mounting and accommodates card thicknesses between 0.051 and 0.071 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Utilizes cantilever spring contacts for reliable mating without soldering to the card edge
• Features gold-plated terminals to ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
• Constructed with high-temperature polyamide insulation for thermal stability
• Supports right-angle panel or board edge mounting configurations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Computer peripheral interface modules
• Test and measurement instrument cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count, orientation, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout regarding right-angle mounting requirements. Confirm that the specified card thickness falls within the 0.051 to 0.071 inch operational range for proper contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge connector with fine 1.27mm pitch is required for space-constrained designs. The right-angle form factor facilitates compact vertical integration. Verify that the application environment remains within the -55°C to 85°C operating temperature range and that the non-specified card type matches the design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 302 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of cantilever spring technology, which allows for repeated insertion cycles without damaging the card edge. The numbering convention typically indicates position count, row configuration, and housing material variations within the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 36-position count, 1.27mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Compatible alternatives include other EDAC 302 series variants with identical mechanical dimensions. Cross-brand replacements require verification of cantilever contact geometry and housing footprint compatibility.
