Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required pin count and row configuration before procurement. Confirm that the PCB thickness falls within the acceptable tolerance range of the connector specifications. Ensure that the panel mounting requirements align with the flange dimensions and thread insert specifications provided in the official datasheet to guarantee proper mechanical fit.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection with 36 positions is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between signal density and ease of manufacturing. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs alongside signal lines. The green insulator color aids in visual identification during assembly processes compared to standard black connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with various board thicknesses. The 305 series is widely used in applications requiring reliable vertical or straight mating connections. This specific model represents a high-position variant within the series, offering increased connectivity options for complex circuit designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series models with identical pin counts and spacing. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and panel cutouts when considering alternative manufacturers. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same current rating and temperature specifications to preserve system reliability.
