Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct plating thickness and material specifications. Confirm that the target application environment falls within the stated operational temperature limits. Ensure the PCB edge card thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Validate compatibility with mating card edge profiles before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 22-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the vertical panel mount style for space-constrained enclosures. Choose based on the need for gold-plated contacts in environments where corrosion resistance is critical. Evaluate the 5 A current rating against the system's power distribution requirements. Ensure the thermoplastic housing material meets dielectric strength needs for the application voltage.
