Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact finish and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required quantity aligns with manufacturer lead times, as non-stocked items may require extended production periods. Cross-reference the pin count and pitch requirements with the target application design to prevent compatibility issues during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50-position receptacle with 0.156-inch spacing is required for double-sided card edge applications. Ensure the host system supports the specified 0.062-inch board thickness constraint. Consider the straight mounting orientation and PCB mount style for appropriate mechanical integration within the enclosure layout.
