Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with the latest manufacturer datasheets to meet regulatory requirements for your specific application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 84-position interface is required for double-sided cards. The 3.96mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining electrical isolation. Consider the 5A current rating for power distribution needs and verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting styles and position counts. The series is characterized by its versatility in accepting polarizing keys and supporting both single and double-sided card edge technologies. It serves as a critical interconnect solution in environments demanding stable electrical connections over time.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different mounting angles or housing colors. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3.96mm pitch and 84-position count to ensure mechanical fit.
