Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as lead times may vary based on production schedules.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically mounted card edge interface is required for panel installation. The 3.96 mm pitch offers sufficient spacing for high-current applications while maintaining a compact footprint. Consider the gold plating for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Evaluate the thermal operating range against system constraints to ensure reliability under varying temperature conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in position counts and mounting styles. The 305-062-555-502 variant specifically addresses needs for 62-position dual-row connections with panel-mount capabilities, fitting within the broader ecosystem of industrial-grade interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and pitch but different suffixes indicating variations in housing color or specific flange options. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 3.96 mm spacing and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility to ensure mechanical fit.
