Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and housing color variations within the 306 series. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification before finalizing procurement. Ensure compatibility with mating card edge profiles to prevent mechanical stress during assembly. Cross-reference manufacturer documentation for any recent product change notifications affecting material composition or dimensional tolerances.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 28-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The tin plating offers a cost-effective solution compared to gold variants while maintaining adequate conductivity. Consider the vertical orientation constraints for enclosure design. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the target circuit without exceeding thermal limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
