Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Validate that the selected variant matches the required current rating and operating temperature range for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical mount card edge connector is required for systems utilizing 1.57 mm thick PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while the 5 A rating suits moderate power distribution needs. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch. These connectors are engineered for robust performance in industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable board-to-board or board-to-panel connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the precise 3.56 mm row spacing or 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance.
