Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm flange characteristics and termination style. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with official EDAC documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount interface is required for double-sided card edges. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts. Verify that the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits. Consider the polarizing key compatibility if mechanical alignment is critical for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options. The 305-030 variant specifically addresses mid-range connection needs with a 30-position layout. It utilizes thermoplastic insulation materials for stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different flange or termination configurations. No public cross-model substitutes are confirmed outside the 305 series.
