Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to confirm mechanical variations such as flange type or mounting hardware. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, double-sided card edge interface is required for standard thickness boards. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates common signal densities. Consider the panel mount style for fixed installations where direct board-to-board stacking is not feasible. Validate thermal requirements against the specified operating range.

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. The 305-044 variant specifically provides 44 contacts, balancing connectivity needs with compact form factors suitable for modular electronic assemblies requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same 0.156-inch pitch and 44-position count. Verify identical mounting styles and PCB thickness tolerances. No direct substitute part numbers are publicly confirmed in the provided documentation.
