302-080-221-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-080-221-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 80 positions with a 0.050 inch (1.27 mm) contact spacing and gold flash plating on copper alloy contacts. The connector utilizes a cantilever contact type and supports PCB tail termination for soldering. It accommodates card thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30 mm to 1.80 mm). The housing is constructed from black polyamide (PA66) and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design with cantilever contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Gold flash plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Black polyamide insulation provides structural stability and thermal endurance
• Vertical staggered PCB tails facilitate through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment and network infrastructure modules
• Data processing units and server backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number with official EDAC documentation. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact count and plating specifications. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards and check moisture sensitivity levels prior to assembly. Validate packaging quantities against project requirements to avoid supply chain discrepancies.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge configuration with 0.050-inch pitch is required for high-pin-count applications. Consider the specified card thickness tolerance to ensure proper mechanical fit. Evaluate the operating temperature range against environmental conditions. Compare against other 302 series variants if different pin counts or contact arrangements are needed.
