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 limits before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve. Cross-reference lead times with authorized distributors for accurate scheduling.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 86-position interface is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention without excessive board space consumption. Verify that the dual-edge design aligns with the mating card's guide slot configuration. Consider the operating temperature range if deployed in extreme environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics.
