Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging quantities prior to order placement. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of gold-plated contacts against oxidation. Validate mechanical fit against target PCB specifications before final procurement commitment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-edge connectivity with 66 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard industrial board layouts. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal specification. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder lug termination method for integration into the host chassis design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305-066 variant specifically provides high-density connectivity for dual-edge applications. It utilizes a thermoplastic housing for durability and electrical insulation in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series parts for position count variations. Verify identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility. Ensure mating connector specifications match the dual-edge female requirement.
