Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact tail dimensions and material specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer datasheet prior to integration. Ensure the polarizing key compatibility matches the system design requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 30-position dual-edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operational range. Confirm that the target PCB or card thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification for proper mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by a consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing across various position counts. The 305-030-500-258 variant specifically addresses applications needing a 30-position dual-row interface with polarizing capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other EDAC 305 series part numbers with identical 30-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative candidates support the same dual-edge female configuration and accept compatible polarizing keys.
