• Features half-beam contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with thermoplastic polyester insulation for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-speed data handling systems requiring FPGA integration
• Control system interfaces needing robust electrical connections
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring polarized keying

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct contact type and flange specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate mechanical dimensions and thermal ratings before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the need for polarizing keys if alignment precision is critical for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing common electrical characteristics such as a 5 A current rating and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The 305 series is designed for general-purpose interconnect applications requiring reliable performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Verify compatibility by matching the 68-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and panel mount style. Check that alternative parts support the same PCB thickness range and current ratings.
