302-068-656-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-068-656-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge non-specified cards. It features 68 positions with a contact spacing of 0.050 inches (1.27mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and includes extender board tails in a dual-row formation to facilitate surface-mount or through-hole termination. The housing is black and lacks mounting lugs, providing a low-profile solution for high-density interconnect applications requiring reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 68 total positions for high-density connectivity
• Gold flash plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Extender board tails provide flexible termination options
• Compatible with dual-edge non-specified card types

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Medical device internal circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and tail configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout regarding the dual-row footprint and extender tail length. Confirm that the absence of mounting lugs aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements. Check current availability status as supply levels may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a fine-pitch 1.27mm spacing is required for dual-edge card applications. The 68-position count suits moderate-to-high density needs within the 302 series family. Consider the lack of integrated mounting hardware if additional mechanical fixation is necessary. Compare against other 302 series variants for different pin counts or housing styles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 0.05-inch contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 302-068-656-201 specifically addresses the need for a 68-position dual-row interface with gold contacts and extender tails, fitting into the broader portfolio of EDAC's interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical spacing but different pin counts, such as 302-012-256-201. Cross-series replacements like the 387 series offer different pitch dimensions and should only be considered if mechanical redesign is permissible. Verify that any alternative maintains the dual-edge and gold-plated specifications.
