Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact plating, housing material, and termination type match project requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 86-position layout aligns with the mechanical footprint constraints of the assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count dual-edge interface is required for rigid board applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard trace widths, while the 5 A rating supports moderate power distribution. Consider the straight mounting angle for vertical board insertion and verify thermal stability requirements against the specified operating temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, designed for robust industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing scalable connectivity solutions.
