Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact configuration details. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge design. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style meets the mechanical constraints of the enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 36-position dual row connector is required for panel mounting applications. The 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability suit moderate power environments. Verify that the vertical orientation fits the available space and that the gold plating meets corrosion resistance requirements for the operating environment.
