302-080-656-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-080-656-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 80 positions with a contact spacing of 0.05 inches (1.27mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and includes extender board tails in a dual-row formation. The housing is black, constructed from polyamide (PA66), and supports card thicknesses ranging from 0.051 to 0.071 inches (1.30mm to 1.80mm). It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design with 80 gold-plated contacts
• Extender board tails facilitate secure soldering connections
• Polyamide (PA66) housing provides structural stability
• Compatible with non-specified dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Medical equipment internal circuitry connections
• Communication infrastructure hardware modules
• Consumer electronics mainboard interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and tail length specifications. Confirm that the gold flash plating meets the necessary corrosion resistance standards for the intended operational environment. Check for RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the assembly process. Ensure the dual-row configuration aligns with the PCB layout constraints before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface is required for dual-edge cards with tight spacing requirements. The 1.27mm pitch allows for dense routing on the mating PCB. Consider the extender tails for improved mechanical stability during soldering compared to standard through-hole pins. Verify that the operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C suits the environmental conditions of the target application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various pin counts and configurations tailored for diverse electronic applications. EDAC focuses on providing reliable interconnect solutions for industries such as medical, industrial, and communications, ensuring robust performance in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with different pin counts but identical pitch and housing style, such as 302-040-656-201 or 302-012-256-201. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch, row count, and mounting style compatibility.
