Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required flange and termination specifications. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to the assembly. Ensure the receiving facility has appropriate handling procedures for sensitive electronic components. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for any recent updates to the product line or packaging requirements before finalizing the purchase order.

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 accommodates high-density signal routing needs. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the acceptable range for reliable contact engagement. Consider the thermal operating range of -40°C to +105°C for environmental suitability in the intended application environment.

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 to support diverse electronic integration requirements. The 305 series is widely recognized for its reliability in harsh industrial environments. This specific model represents a common configuration for general-purpose board-to-board or board-to-panel connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical 40-position dual-row configurations. Models such as 305-040-520-507 share similar electrical characteristics but may differ in flange features. Always verify mechanical dimensions and mating interface compatibility before substituting.
