Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the specific part number matches project requirements regarding position count, spacing, and termination style. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental regulations such as RoHS standards before procurement. Validate supply chain integrity to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-density dual-row interface is required for vertical panel mounting. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility during mechanical design. Evaluate the thermal operating range and current carrying capacity against system load requirements. Ensure sufficient panel space for the M3-0.5 threaded flange installation method.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent spacing and mounting characteristics. The 305-080 variant provides a high-contact-count solution for complex signal routing needs in compact form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical 80-position dual-row configurations and matching 3.96 mm spacing. Verify mechanical dimensions and flange thread specifications to ensure physical compatibility. Cross-reference electrical ratings and material compositions to maintain performance parity.
