Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the specified tolerance range of 1.37mm to 1.78mm. Ensure compatibility with the target panel mounting style and verify RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification documents before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required. The 24-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Ensure the operating environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C thermal limits and that the 5A current rating meets the circuit requirements.

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 tailored for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305-024-556-578 specifically addresses requirements for dual-edge insertion with a fixed 24-position layout. It shares common mechanical and electrical characteristics with other variants in the 305 family, differing primarily in contact count and specific housing details.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical pitch and row configuration. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same 3.96mm spacing and dual-edge female contact type. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure panel mount compatibility. Confirm that electrical ratings and material compositions meet or exceed the original specifications.
