Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB dimensions before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations rather than relying on historical data.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm spacing is required. Verify that the mating card thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal dimension. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and solder lug termination method during mechanical design integration.

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 configurations. The 305-030-500-578 specifically denotes a 30-position dual female header with gold contacts and a green thermoplastic housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-030-520-578 for potential pinout or finish differences. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents.
