302-068-356-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-068-356-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for vertical board mounting. It features 68 positions with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and accepts PCBs with thicknesses between 0.051 and 0.071 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, utilizing a cantilever spring design for reliable engagement. The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66/nylon 6/6), supporting an operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Cantilever spring contact design ensures secure mating with dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Polyamide insulator offers thermal stability and mechanical durability
• Vertical through-hole termination facilitates standard PCB assembly processes

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing modular card architectures
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules demanding high reliability

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 302 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange configuration. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions and verify RoHS3 compliance status prior to final procurement authorization.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0.050-inch pitch dual-edge interface is required for vertical mounting applications. Evaluate the 0.051 to 0.071 inch card thickness tolerance against the target PCB specifications. Confirm that the polyamide insulation material meets the thermal requirements of the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 Series, which specializes in 0.050-inch pitch card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for diverse electronic packaging needs. The 302-068 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 68 connection points within a compact dual-edge form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any alternative maintains identical 0.050-inch spacing, 68-position count, and dual-edge female configuration to preserve mechanical and electrical compatibility.
