• Gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides high thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market. Confirm that the vertical mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, vertical receptacle is required for double-sided card edge interfaces. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between signal lines compared to finer pitches. Verify that the 1.57 mm board thickness requirement matches the design specifications. Consider the 5 A rating to ensure adequate current handling capacity for the circuit load without exceeding thermal limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 306 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating easy integration into existing hardware designs requiring reliable edge-board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different mounting features or plating options. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substitution. Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for approved alternative part numbers.
