Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including all suffixes to ensure correct termination and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-edge card interface compatible with the specified 3.96 mm pitch. Check regional availability status as distribution may be limited in certain areas. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if mandated by project standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution is required for double-sided card edge interfaces. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates specific board trace layouts distinct from finer pitches. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the circuit. Ensure the panel thickness allows for proper mechanical retention during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options tailored for robust industrial environments. The 305 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic housing and high-current capabilities, making it suitable for demanding connectivity tasks.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variants with different position counts or termination types, such as the 305-032-520-507. Cross-series replacements like the 315-032-521-202 share similar pitch but differ in housing color and potentially other mechanical attributes.
