Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest certification documents rather than relying on distributor summaries.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 60 positions is required. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational range. Ensure the mating card thickness falls between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. The 305-060 variant specifically addresses higher density interface needs compared to lower position models within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitute part numbers. Verify pin count, pitch, and termination type match exactly before substitution.
