302-040-321-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-040-321-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 Series, designed for dual-edge board connections. It features 40 positions with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating and is constructed with a black polyamide (PA66) insulator. It supports through-hole mounting and is rated for operation within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Polyamide (PA66) insulation material for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics module interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required contact spacing and termination style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to procurement to align with assembly process constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 1.27mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness accommodates the specified contact length. Verify that the gold plating specification meets the intended electrical performance needs for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in high-density card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .050 inch contact spacing and availability in various position counts. It serves as a standard solution for connecting edge-board modules to main system boards in compact electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 302 Series variants with identical 40-position dual-edge specifications. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 1.27mm pitch, through-hole termination, and overall envelope dimensions to ensure mechanical fit.
