Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct pin count, plating specifications, and mounting style. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal requirement for proper mechanical retention. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector is required for non-specified card types. Ensure the application demands a 3.96 mm pitch and panel mount installation. Verify that the environmental conditions fall within the specified temperature range and that the current rating requirements are met by the copper alloy contact design.

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 series is characterized by its thermoplastic polyester housing and robust solder pin termination method suitable for high-reliability applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting styles. Cross-reference with other manufacturers only if exact dimensional and electrical parameters match.
