Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct pitch, row count, and mounting style. Confirm that the specific ordering code matches the required board thickness and termination type. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for updated compliance status and environmental certifications before finalizing procurement specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 26-position count and 0.156-inch spacing. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to 105°C operating range. Verify that the PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance window. Confirm that the panel mount orientation and solder pin termination are compatible with the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This model belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options for general-purpose electronic interconnections. The 305-026 variant specifically addresses applications requiring moderate density connections with robust mechanical retention in panel-mounted configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting styles. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating cards when considering alternative part numbers from the same manufacturer family.
