Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count and termination style match project requirements. Ensure the host PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Confirm that the panel mounting orientation meets the assembly layout constraints. Check for any recent product change notifications regarding material updates or dimensional adjustments before finalizing the bill of materials.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 18-position count suits moderate density applications. Verify that the 5 A current rating satisfies the circuit load demands. Consider the vertical panel mount style if space constraints prevent horizontal routing. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB manufacturing tolerances for the specified board thickness.
