302-052-258-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-052-258-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, featuring a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. It provides 52 positions arranged in a dual row formation with 26 contacts per row. The connector utilizes gold flash plated cantilever contacts and is designed for right-angle staggered termination. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), suitable for board edge mounting without lugs.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration with cantilever contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Gold flash plating on contacts to ensure corrosion resistance and low contact resistance
• Right-angle staggered design facilitates compact vertical integration on printed circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics internal module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and mating card thickness specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface with fine 1.27mm pitch is required. The right-angle orientation is optimal for space-constrained vertical layouts. Confirm that the cantilever contact type aligns with the insertion force requirements of the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its fine 0.050-inch pitch and robust construction using PA66 insulation. It serves as a critical interconnect solution for modular electronic assemblies needing durable electrical pathways.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference guide for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the 1.27mm pitch, 52-position count, and right-angle form factor to preserve mechanical fit.
