Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating and material specifications. Ensure the target application requires the 28-position dual female configuration. Confirm that the installed PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm acceptance range. Check regional distribution availability as stock levels vary by supplier.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided card edge applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits designs needing robust mechanical retention with moderate pin density. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit requirements. Consider the operating temperature range if the environment exceeds standard commercial limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
