302-068-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-068-221-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 68 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and a 0.140 inch (3.56mm) row spacing. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold flash finish and utilize a cantilever design. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66/nylon 6/6), supporting card thicknesses between 0.051 and 0.071 inches. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 85°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever contact type ensures reliable electrical connection for dual-edge cards
• Gold flash plating on copper alloy contacts provides corrosion resistance
• Polyamide housing offers thermal stability and mechanical strength
• Through-hole termination supports secure board integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 302 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct configuration. Confirm that the gold flash finish meets application requirements rather than thicker gold plating. Check compatibility with the target PCB layout for through-hole soldering and verify that the housing material aligns with environmental operating conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 0.050 inch spacing is required. Ensure the host card thickness falls within the specified 0.051 to 0.071 inch range. Consider the -55°C to 85°C operating temperature limit for environmental suitability. Verify that the cantilever contact style matches the mating card's insertion force requirements.
