Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for the target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface is required for 22-position signals. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs. The vertical orientation suits panel-mounted chassis designs where space efficiency is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-022-520-212 specifically denotes the 22-position dual row variant with gold contacts and thermoplastic insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for different position counts. Verify compatibility with polarizing keys if used in the assembly. Ensure mating connector specifications match the contact spacing and board thickness.
