Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the specific part number matches project requirements regarding position count and termination style. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the manufacturing region. Request official datasheets and dimensional drawings prior to integration to validate mechanical fit and electrical specifications against system constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge card edge connector with 28 positions is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability and high current capacity. Verify compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Consider the solder lug termination method for permanent, high-reliability assembly in industrial environments where vibration resistance is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and low-profile insulator body. The 305 series supports various position counts and termination styles, offering flexibility for different board configurations while maintaining consistent electrical performance and mechanical durability across the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include EDAC part numbers such as 305-032-500-207, 305-040-520-268, and 305-056-500-207. These alternatives share identical mechanical dimensions, contact spacing, and electrical ratings but differ in the number of positions. Ensure the replacement matches the required pin count before substitution.
