Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact type and plating specifications. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with manufacturer packaging constraints, typically supplied in bulk quantities of 25 units per package. Cross-reference the part number with current RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, double-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted installations. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Consider the 30-position count and dual female contact design for compatibility with corresponding edge cards in industrial or medical applications requiring robust thermal performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for high-reliability interconnect solutions. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, catering to diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305-030-520-201 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a 30-position dual-row interface with vertical panel mounting capabilities and durable gold-plated contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitute part numbers within the 305 series or compatible families. Ensure any replacement maintains identical pitch, position count, and mounting orientation to guarantee mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the host PCB layout.
