Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, pitch, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Validate that the selected variant matches required environmental operating temperatures. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row, 48-position interface is required for panel-mounted assemblies. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch constraint for trace routing density. Evaluate the 5 A current rating against load requirements. Verify that the thermoplastic housing material meets chemical resistance needs. Assess mechanical retention requirements for the vertical panel mount style.
