• Thermoplastic insulator provides electrical isolation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and insulation color. Ensure the target application requires the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with high mechanical stability is required. The vertical panel mount style suits enclosures needing direct board-to-board or board-to-panel connections. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-044 variant specifically provides 44 positions in a dual-row arrangement. It is distinct from single-row or different pitch alternatives within the broader product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 44-position dual-row configurations. Verify identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility before substitution.
