Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required termination type and plating thickness. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Ensure the panel mounting orientation aligns with the enclosure design. Check RoHS3 compliance requirements against project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 44-position interface is required with high current handling capabilities. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between signals. Consider the vertical panel mount style if space constraints prevent horizontal surface mounting. Verify that the solder eyelet termination is compatible with the assembly process used.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various positioning options and mounting styles for card edge applications. The series provides standardized dimensions and electrical ratings across different position counts, allowing for modular design approaches in electronic systems requiring reliable high-density connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series variants such as 305-042-500-504 or 305-050-556-502 for similar pitch and mounting characteristics. Ensure any substitute maintains the 44-position count and dual-row configuration to preserve mechanical fit and electrical connectivity.
