Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct termination style and flange configuration. Confirm that the required polarizing key type matches the connector's acceptance specifications. Check RoHS compliance status as per the manufacturer's latest documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-position dual-edge interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure the application environment accommodates the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the PCB thickness falls within the supported nominal limits. Consider the need for polarizing keys if precise board insertion orientation is critical for the system design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their robust construction and versatile mounting options. The series includes various position counts and termination styles, allowing for standardized integration across different industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring reliable dual-edge connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or termination types.
