Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and termination type. 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 EDAC documentation to validate electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions before integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the mating PCB thickness falls within the specified tolerance range. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature limits to match system environmental conditions. Verify that the gold plating meets corrosion resistance requirements for the intended operational lifespan.

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 to support diverse electronic assembly needs.
