Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and insulation color. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest documentation provided by EDAC Inc. or authorized distributors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 52-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meets environmental requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for high-reliability applications requiring secure card retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row format. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal type compatibility before substitution.
