Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct termination and plating specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and current production status.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-edge cards. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational range. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the system's mechanical constraints and that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit requirements.

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. The 305-032-521-208 specifically denotes a 32-position variant with solder pin termination and gold plating, distinct from other series like the 302 or 355 which may differ in pitch or mounting style.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the 305-032-500-204 (solder lug) and 305-032-521-258 (different color). Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
