Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact plating thickness and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge guide dimensions and verify that the 1.57 mm board thickness requirement aligns with your assembly specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel integration. Consider the 5 A current rating and wide operating temperature range for demanding environments. Confirm that the solder pin termination method matches your manufacturing process and that the housing color meets visual identification standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for high-reliability applications requiring durable mechanical and electrical performance. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse board-to-board and board-to-panel connection needs across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers such as 305-034-520-503 or 305-034-520-204 variants from other distributors if supply constraints exist. Verify that any substitute maintains the identical 3.96 mm pitch, 34-position count, and dual-row geometry to ensure mechanical fit without redesigning the host PCB layout.
