Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Validate electrical ratings against application requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row, 80-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider its panel-mount orientation and vertical installation angle for chassis integration. Evaluate the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability against system voltage needs. Check if polarizing key acceptance is necessary for mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-080 variant specifically provides an 80-position layout suitable for applications demanding substantial I/O density within a compact footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute matches the 3.96 mm pitch, 80-position count, and dual female configuration. Ensure identical panel-mount requirements and thermal operating ranges.
