Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure compatibility with required mounting styles and termination types. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended board thickness and row configuration. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate environmental ratings and material specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a single-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the host PCB adheres to the specified 1.57 mm thickness tolerance for proper engagement. Consider the operating temperature range and current rating to verify suitability for the target electrical environment and mechanical constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and its focus on durable, high-reliability connections for industrial and commercial electronics. The 306 series typically includes both single and dual-row configurations to accommodate different density requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching position counts and pitch dimensions. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same 0.156 inch spacing and compatible PCB thickness specifications to ensure mechanical fit and electrical performance equivalence.
