• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual female contact configuration ensures reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic housing provides structural integrity and insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status matches project requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and supply chain origin.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 48-position interface is required for non-specified card edge boards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible PCB trace spacing. Verify that the operating environment falls within the specified thermal limits. Consider the panel mount installation style if chassis integration is necessary for the assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 305-048 variant specifically addresses mid-range density requirements. It shares common electrical ratings with other models in the family but differs in physical pin count and footprint dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Alternative part numbers may vary by position count or mounting style. Verify dimensional compatibility with existing PCB layouts before substitution.
