Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and housing color specifications. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance and mounting style for your application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Consider the tin-plated contact finish for general-purpose applications where gold plating is not strictly necessary. Verify that the housing material and operating temperature range meet the environmental requirements of the target assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection needs.
