Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, pitch, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness and panel cutout dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided female connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Confirm that the target circuit board thickness matches the specified 1.57mm requirement. Evaluate thermal performance needs against the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Consider the gold plating thickness for long-term corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-056 variant specifically provides 56 contacts, balancing high density with standard spacing. It serves as a robust interconnect solution for modular electronic systems requiring durable physical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row configuration but different pin counts, such as 305-050 or 305-070 variants. Verify mechanical fit and electrical specifications before substitution. No other manufacturers' direct equivalents are confirmed in public documentation.
