Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and housing color specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 5 A current rating meets the system's electrical requirements. Confirm availability status as distribution may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 60-position dual-edge connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style is suitable for chassis-based installations. Consider the 5 A rating and gold plating for durability. Compare against other 305 Series variants if different position counts or mounting styles are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for versatility across industrial and commercial sectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, providing a scalable solution for board-to-board and backplane connections within electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference guide for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must match the 60-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge configuration to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
