Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct pin count, plating thickness, and termination type. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness and mounting orientation for your specific assembly. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 28-position interface is required for vertical or straddle-mounted applications. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the specified operational range to maintain proper contact engagement. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal limits when designing the system layout to prevent overheating during continuous operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, including headers and edgeboard connectors. The 305 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and standardized 3.96 mm pitch, providing a versatile solution for high-density electronic interconnections across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical 28-position configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal alignment before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar specifications, but physical fitment must be confirmed.
