Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '578' against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet or certification documents prior to procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68-position dual-edge connector is required for vertical panel installation. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the associated PCB trace layout. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range and that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings. The 305 series is engineered for durability in demanding environments, supporting both single and dual-edge board configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other parts within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts. Verify that any substitute maintains the identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
