Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, material grades, and environmental compliance status such as RoHS. Ensure that the ordering specifications match the required board thickness and mounting orientation. Cross-reference the distributor catalog numbers with the original EDAC datasheet to avoid discrepancies in pin count or row configuration before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface is required for thin PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and manufacturability. Consider the through-hole mounting requirement and straight orientation during layout design. Verify that the thermal and electrical ratings meet the application's operational demands without exceeding the specified temperature limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations tailored for diverse interconnect needs. The 306 series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard industry PCB dimensions, making it a common choice for modular electronic designs requiring reliable edge-mounted connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical row and position counts but different suffixes for variations in plating or packaging. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before replacing. No alternative cross-brand equivalents are confirmed in the provided data.
