Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with distributor databases to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 60-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Confirm that the application environment supports the specified temperature range and voltage ratings. Evaluate the need for polarizing key compatibility if precise board insertion guidance is critical for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This model belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for various industrial applications. Similar variants in the series differ primarily in position count and specific mounting configurations while maintaining consistent electrical performance standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before considering alternative manufacturers. No public confirmed substitute part numbers are identified in available documentation.
