Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific position count and pitch against project requirements before ordering. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Ensure the mounting style matches the panel design constraints. Check availability status as distribution may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for thicker PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch offers wider spacing compared to standard 2.54 mm headers. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options. The model number indicates specific attributes such as row count and termination type. It serves as a reliable interface between card edge circuits and panel infrastructure.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with matching 38 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative parts support the same 1.57 mm board thickness. Ensure equivalent current ratings and operating temperature ranges are maintained.
