Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 58-position count and 3.96 mm pitch before ordering. Confirm that the receiving PCB has a thickness compatible with the 1.57 mm specification. Ensure the application environment remains within the stated temperature limits. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or lead time requirements associated with this manufacturer part number prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 58-position connection is required in a vertical panel-mount configuration. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and spacing. Verify compatibility with the target PCB edge card thickness. Consider the gold plating requirement for contact reliability. Ensure the thermal rating meets the operational demands of the specific electronic assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for demanding environments. The 305 series typically features thermoplastic housings and various position counts. This specific model represents a mid-range position count within the dual-row header category.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 58-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-row female configuration. Verify mechanical dimensions for panel cutout compatibility. Ensure electrical ratings meet or exceed the original 5 A current capacity. Contact material and plating specifications should be comparable to ensure similar performance characteristics.
