Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to the assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-row interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger board traces compared to finer pitches. Verify that the housing material meets the thermal requirements of the intended environment, given the 105°C maximum operating limit. Ensure sufficient panel space for the vertical mounting profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to suit different board densities. The 305 line is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard industrial PCB thicknesses, making it suitable for demanding electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different position numbers, such as 305-048-520-258 or 305-050-520-258. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution. No alternative manufacturers are confirmed in the provided documentation.
