Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and contact specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability and compliance status. Request updated datasheets directly from the supplier to validate recent manufacturing changes or revisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 30-position interface is required for thick PCBs up to 1.78 mm. The 3.96 mm pitch suits high-current or low-frequency applications where spacing allows. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements for the intended deployment scenario.
