Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required board thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest environmental declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.96 mm pitch dual-edge connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 38-position count suits moderate density signal routing. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Ensure compatibility with the 5 A continuous current rating for all intended power lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides engineered solutions for power and signal connections. The series is characterized by its ability to accept polarizing keys for alignment. These connectors are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics requiring durable card edge interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching position counts and pitch dimensions. Cross-reference part numbers such as 305-018-555-208 or 305-050-555-208 for similar form factors. Always verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
