Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-row female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compatibility with the specific PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface is required for panel-mounted card edge applications. The 84-position count supports complex signal routing in compact spaces. Choose this model if straddle mount stability is preferred over surface mount alternatives. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical requirements of the connected circuitry.

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 options for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305 series is widely used in industrial and commercial applications requiring durable, high-performance interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants for different position counts or mounting styles. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row female configuration. Verify mechanical dimensions and thermal ratings match the original design requirements.
