Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact finish and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical design limits. Check regional availability status as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if mandated by the end product regulations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution is required for double-sided edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible PCB trace spacing. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the application's power transmission needs. Consider the operating temperature range to ensure functionality in the intended environmental conditions without derating.

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 styles. The 305-036 variant specifically provides a mid-range density option for dual-row applications. It is designed for robust industrial environments requiring reliable signal and power transfer through edgeboard connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC 305-036-556-201 and 305-036-556-278. These alternatives share the same 36-position count and 3.96 mm pitch but may differ in housing color or specific plating thickness. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal type before substitution.
