Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets or certified component databases to meet regulatory requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row, 38-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Ensure the mating card edge thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm tolerance. Confirm panel-mount mounting style suits the mechanical design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent pitch and housing materials. These connectors are engineered for robust performance in demanding electronic environments, supporting both single and double-sided PCB designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts. Verify identical pitch, row configuration, and mounting style when evaluating substitutes. Consult official EDAC interchangeability guides for confirmed equivalent components.
