Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and mounting styles. Confirm that the thermal rating and current capacity meet the system's operational requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage as critical parameters for electrical safety and performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, providing modular solutions for board-to-board or board-to-backplane applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with differing pin counts or mounting variations. Verify cross-compatibility with existing polarizing key slots and PCB thickness tolerances before substituting.
