302-040-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-040-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for non-specified dual-edge PCBs. It features 40 positions with a 0.050" (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes gold flash-plated copper alloy contacts and a black insulator made of polyamide (PA66). It supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for non-specified card edge applications
• Gold flash plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical mounting style for panel or board edge installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring dual-edge connectivity
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target PCB design accommodates the specified 0.051" to 0.071" thickness range. Confirm compatibility with the 0.050" pitch requirement. Ensure the application environment remains within the -55°C to 85°C operating temperature limits. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with 0.050" pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing 40 positions with vertical orientation. Consider the PA66 insulation material and gold flash plating for durability. Verify that the PCB thickness falls within the supported 1.30mm to 1.80mm range before integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in card edge connectors with 0.050" contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 302-040-221-201 specifically addresses high-density dual-edge requirements with robust gold-plated contacts and standard industrial temperature ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other EDAC 302 Series parts with identical 40-position dual-edge configurations. Verify matching 0.050" pitch and compatible PCB thickness ranges. Ensure equivalent gold flash plating and PA66 insulation materials are present in potential substitutes.
