Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required termination style and mounting options. Confirm compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Ensure the supplier provides original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing the purchase order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 0.156-inch pitch is required for dual-edge cards. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermoplastic insulation properties for thermal management needs. Evaluate the tin-plated contact finish against mating cycle requirements and environmental exposure conditions to ensure long-term reliability in the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 306 series, which offers various configurations including different contact spacings and mounting styles. The series is known for providing flexible solutions for card edge applications, supporting both single and dual-sided connectors with diverse termination options to meet specific mechanical and electrical design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 0.156-inch pitch, 26-position count, and dual-side female configuration. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and mating card thicknesses. Cross-reference with other EDAC 306 series variants or industry-standard equivalents only if they meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
