Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB edge card dimensions and panel cutout requirements before procurement. Cross-reference manufacturer datasheets for updated RoHS compliance status and environmental ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48-position dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Confirm that the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the PCB thickness aligns with the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm acceptance window. Ensure panel mounting constraints accommodate the vertical header profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305-048-555-578 specifically addresses high-density connection requirements in panel-mounted configurations, providing a robust mechanical and electrical interface for dual-sided edge cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC official substitution guides for direct replacements. Alternative parts must match the 48-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row layout, and panel mount style. Verify identical thermal and electrical ratings to ensure functional equivalence without redesign.
