Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify part authenticity through authorized EDAC channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging requirements prior to order placement. Ensure compatibility with target PCB specifications regarding thickness and hole alignment. Request official datasheets and dimensional drawings to validate mechanical fit. Check regional availability as distribution may be restricted in certain locations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row, 16-position card edge interface is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between signal lines. Verify that the target printed circuit board supports the specified 1.57 mm thickness. Consider the vertical mounting orientation for panel integration needs. Ensure the operating environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C temperature limits defined by the thermoplastic material properties.
