Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific position count against project requirements, as source data indicates potential discrepancies between 44 and 48 positions. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch matches the target PCB layout. Ensure the vertical panel mount style aligns with enclosure constraints. Validate the 5 A current rating suffices for the application load. Check regional availability status before finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The gold-plated contacts are suitable for applications prioritizing low contact resistance. The thermoplastic polyester housing provides necessary environmental protection. Consider the vertical mounting orientation for panel integration needs. Ensure the 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility fits the design specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. These connectors are engineered for through-hole termination and offer varying position counts. The 305 series supports both single and dual-edge configurations, catering to diverse PCB integration requirements in industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts. Verify that substitute components maintain the 3.96 mm pitch specification. Ensure replacement connectors support the same 5 A current rating and vertical mounting style. Confirm material compatibility regarding the thermoplastic polyester housing and gold-plated contacts.
