Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating, insulation color, and flange specifications. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the application environment remains within the rated -40°C to +105°C operating temperature limits to maintain performance integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 30 positions and 0.156-inch pitch is required. It is suitable for panel-mounted applications requiring vertical orientation. Consider the thermoplastic housing material and gold contact finish for corrosion resistance. Verify compatibility with existing PCB design rules regarding row spacing and board thickness constraints before finalizing the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options for diverse electronic applications. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and reliable performance in demanding environments. It serves as a critical interface component between circuit boards and chassis-mounted headers.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 30-position count and 0.156-inch pitch. Verify identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Ensure any alternative maintains the dual-edge female configuration and compatible PCB thickness tolerance.
