• Communication equipment interfaces requiring durable mating cycles

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure that the procurement documentation matches the required RoHS compliance status and environmental ratings. Cross-reference the lead time requirements with current supply chain data as availability may vary by region. Confirm that the packaging quantity aligns with production needs before finalizing orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 26 positions is required for vertical panel integration. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard PCB layouts while the 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility ensures mechanical stability. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Verify that the straddle mount style fits within the enclosure constraints and allows for proper thermal management.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a range of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations to suit different connectivity needs. Components in this line are characterized by their low-profile insulator bodies and consistent dimensional tolerances, ensuring interchangeability across similar form factors within the product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 305-022-556-268 or 305-020-556-268 if fewer positions are acceptable. For identical specifications, verify cross-references with other manufacturers offering compatible 0.156-inch pitch dual-edge connectors. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same mounting style, board thickness tolerance, and contact plating requirements.
