Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, termination type, and insulation color. Confirm RoHS compliance status and mating board thickness requirements prior to procurement. Ensure panel mounting hardware compatibility with the specified flange dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge interface is required for thick PCBs. The 0.156-inch pitch supports robust signal routing in industrial environments. Verify that the application requires vertical panel mounting and wire hole or solder pin termination options compatible with the series specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors established for rack and panel applications. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, serving as a foundational interconnect solution for OEMs requiring durable, high-reliability connections in computing and industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the 305 prefix and identical 82-position dual-edge specifications. Verify that substitute models maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness acceptance criteria to ensure mechanical fit.
