Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '500-501' corresponds to the dual female receptacle variant with green housing. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness does not exceed 1.57 mm to ensure proper mating. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 72-position connection is required for dual-edge boards. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the existing PCB layout design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for general-purpose electronic applications. The 305-072-500-501 specifically addresses needs for robust, high-pin-count vertical or straight connections in compact assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part number 305-072-520-204 for similar specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 72-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual female contact type to ensure mechanical compatibility.
