302-050-356-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-050-356-201 is a female card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for board edge and straddle mount applications. It features 50 contacts arranged in two rows with a 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy cantilever type, suitable for solder termination. The insulator is black polyamide (PA66), rated for -55°C to 85°C. It accepts card thicknesses of 0.051" to 0.071" (1.30mm to 1.80mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever contact design ensures reliable connection with specified card thicknesses.
• Gold-plated terminals provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance.
• Straddle mount configuration allows secure installation on the board edge.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections.
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces.
• Automotive electronics modules needing high-reliability interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation confirming the part number 302-050-356-201. Ensure the product matches the specified 50-position, dual-row configuration and 1.27mm pitch. Check for RoHS compliance status as indicated in official datasheets. Confirm packaging details align with standard shipping requirements to prevent terminal damage during transit.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-contact female connector with a 1.27mm pitch is required for straddle mounting. It is suitable for applications involving PCBs with thicknesses between 1.30mm and 1.80mm. Consider the operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C for environmental compatibility. Ensure the mating card meets the specified dimensional tolerances for proper engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in low-profile card edge solutions. The series offers various pin counts and spacing options to accommodate different interface needs. The 302-050-356-201 variant specifically addresses high-density requirements with its 50-contact layout while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for compatible alternatives within the 302 series or other EDAC families. Verify that any substitute maintains identical pitch, contact count, and mounting style. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure fitment without modifying existing PCB layouts.
