Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and mounting constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time availability through authorized distributors prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements if applicable.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 36-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm requirement. Consider the vertical panel mount orientation and solder pin termination method during mechanical design integration.

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 styles while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics and material specifications. It serves as a robust interface solution for high-density board-to-board or board-to-backplane connections in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305 series variants such as 305-038-520-502 or 305-040-520-268 for similar pitch and mounting styles but different position counts. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration to guarantee mechanical fit.
