302-060-256-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-060-256-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, featuring 60 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing. It utilizes gold flash plated copper alloy contacts in a dual-row female configuration. The housing is black polyamide (PA66/nylon 6/6) without mounting lugs. Designed for non-specified dual-edge cards, it supports board thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The connector employs a cantilever contact type and terminates via welding.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female connector design with extender board tails for secure mating
• Gold flash plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Black polyamide housing provides structural integrity without mounting lugs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Electronic circuit board interconnections
• Industrial control system modules
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm compatibility with target PCB layouts. Ensure that the receiving facility accepts components with restricted supply status if applicable. Cross-reference the contact spacing and board thickness requirements with the design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 60-position interface is required with precise 1.27mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding gold-plated durability and cantilever contact mechanics. Verify that the host board accommodates the specified thickness range and that the dual-edge card format aligns with the system architecture.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by fine 0.050-inch spacing and robust construction. Variations within the series typically differ by position count and housing features, while maintaining consistent contact materials and termination methods for interchangeability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 60-position count, 1.27mm pitch, and dual-row female configuration. Verify that alternative parts support the same board thickness range and utilize compatible gold flash plating. Ensure the replacement maintains the cantilever contact style and similar housing dimensions.
