Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and mounting hole dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and material specifications with current regulatory requirements for the intended deployment region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 16-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C operating range for environmental suitability. Verify that the panel mount vertical orientation and flange dimensions align with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and dual-row configurations. The series is characterized by its 3.96 mm pitch and robust construction suitable for high-reliability applications. The 305-016-520-208 specifically denotes the 16-position variant within this standardized product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination styles. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row format to preserve mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.
