Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact finish, insulation color, and flange configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the Mouser part number 587-305-022-556-268 for accurate sourcing information.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 22-position, dual-row card edge connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the mating PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the vertical mounting style and panel installation requirements. Verify that the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C temperature range meet the application's electrical and environmental specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse electronic applications.
