Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Validate that the vertical panel mount style aligns with enclosure design requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the vertical mounting angle fits the mechanical assembly constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 305 series is characterized by robust thermoplastic insulation and consistent dimensional tolerances for industrial reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 24-position count. Verify identical panel mount and vertical orientation requirements. Check for matching current ratings and temperature specifications.
