302-040-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-040-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 40 positions with a contact spacing of 0.050 inches (1.27mm). The connector utilizes gold flash plated copper alloy contacts and a black thermoplastic housing. It supports a card thickness range of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 40 gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Right-angle through-hole termination for secure PCB mounting
• Compatible with non-specified dual-edge cards within defined thickness limits

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces
• Telecommunications hardware modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required right-angle orientation and contact finish specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target card thickness range before integration. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid manufacturer traceability for quality assurance purposes.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 40-position interface is required with a narrow 1.27mm pitch. The right-angle design facilitates compact vertical stacking or space-constrained layouts. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and orientations to support diverse electronic module requirements. The 302-040 variant specifically addresses needs for moderate pin counts with precise spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 302 series parts for alternative position counts. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against potential substitutes to ensure functional equivalence without redesign.
