Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and panel cutout dimensions before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal limits for high-power applications. Verify that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

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 options, providing a standardized solution for modular electronic systems requiring robust electrical connections between circuit boards and chassis panels.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting styles. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if they match the 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row layout, and panel mount requirements.
