302-068-256-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-068-256-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 68 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27mm) contact spacing arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes gold flash plated contacts on a copper alloy base and employs a black polyamide (PA66) housing. It supports non-specified dual-edge cards within a thickness range of 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). The component operates reliably between -55°C and +85°C and is supplied in tube packaging.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact finish and housing material specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB layout and card thickness constraints before finalizing procurement orders. Ensure supply chain sources provide original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and compliance status.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.27mm pitch dual-edge connector is required for space-constrained designs. Consider the operating temperature range and mechanical durability requirements against application stressors. Evaluate the gold flash plating suitability for low-level signal transmission needs compared to thicker gold alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in compact card edge connectors. The series offers various pin counts while maintaining consistent 0.050-inch spacing.
