302-100-256-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 302-100-256-201 is a dual-edge card edge connector from the 302 series, designed for non-specified double-sided PCBs. It features 100 positions with a 0.050-inch (1.27mm) contact spacing and utilizes gold flash-plated contacts. The housing is black polyamide (PA66), supporting board thicknesses of 0.051 to 0.071 inches. Rated for -55°C to 85°C, it employs a cantilever contact type for reliable mating.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for non-specified double-sided boards
• Gold flash-plated cantilever contacts for signal integrity
• Black polyamide insulation housing for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control modules requiring robust connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Cross-reference the DigiKey part number 151-302-100-256-201-ND for accurate distributor identification.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, narrow-pitch connection is required for double-sided circuit boards. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the 0.051 to 0.071 inch range. Consider the operating temperature limits of -55°C to 85°C for environmental suitability in industrial or harsh settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 302 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors with 0.050-inch spacing. The series offers various pin counts and housing colors, providing flexibility for different density requirements while maintaining consistent mechanical interface standards across the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 302-012-256-201 and 302-006-256-201, though these differ significantly in position count. Verify that any alternative maintains the 0.050-inch pitch and dual-edge female configuration to ensure mechanical fit.
