Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact housing color and mounting lug variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve over time.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the 1.37 to 1.78 mm acceptance window for proper contact 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 mounting options. The 305-032-555-501 specifically denotes a 32-position variant with defined housing material and contact plating characteristics typical of the series industrial grade offerings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC official substitution guides for direct replacements. Similar pitch connectors from other manufacturers require verification of mechanical dimensions and contact force specifications to ensure functional equivalence in existing assemblies.
