302-040-656-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-040-656-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 40 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and utilizes gold-plated contacts. The connector supports female termination and is intended for non-specified dual-edge cards. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and accepts card thicknesses between 0.051 inches and 0.071 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with extender board tails for secure mounting
• Gold flash plated contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Housing constructed without mounting lugs for compact integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment utilizing EDAC medical interconnect solutions
• General electronic assemblies needing standard card edge connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify availability through authorized distributors as supply status may vary. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact count and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts regarding the 1.27mm pitch and dual-edge card thickness constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 40-position dual-edge connector with 1.27mm spacing is required. It is suitable for applications demanding gold-plated contacts and operation up to 85°C. Consider the absence of mounting lugs in the housing design during mechanical layout planning to ensure proper board retention methods are implemented.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 0.050-inch spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 302-040-656-201 specifically addresses needs for high-density dual-edge connections in space-constrained environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 302-series variants such as 302-006-256-201 or 302-012-256-201 if different pin counts are needed. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 1.27mm pitch and gold plating requirements to ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility.
