Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and housing color variants. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Validate that the selected variant matches the required current rating and temperature range for the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-edge card edge connectivity with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the application demands vertical panel mounting rather than board-level surface mount options. Confirm that the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C operating range meet system requirements. Ensure the PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification for proper mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options for diverse interconnect needs. Components in this family typically feature robust thermoplastic housings and gold-plated contacts for durability.
