Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or official channels. Confirm that the received component matches the 302-060-658-201 designation, including correct pin count, gold plating finish, and right-angle housing orientation. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards if required by your manufacturing specifications. Check for any specific handling instructions regarding ESD sensitivity during storage and installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a 60-position dual-edge interface with 1.27mm pitch is required. The right-angle design is optimal for space-constrained vertical mounting scenarios. Consider the gold plating for environments demanding long-term reliability against oxidation. Verify that the target PCB card thickness falls within the 1.30mm to 1.80mm range to ensure proper engagement and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with fine 1.27mm spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to accommodate diverse electronic design needs. The 302-060-658-201 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a substantial number of connections in a compact footprint, leveraging EDAC's expertise in robust interconnect solutions for professional electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other 302-series models with matching 60 positions and 1.27mm pitch, such as 302-060-256-201 if left-angle termination is acceptable. Cross-reference dimensional drawings and electrical ratings before substitution. Ensure that any alternative maintains the same gold plating specification and compatible card thickness range to preserve connection integrity.
