Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the mating card edge thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm design specification. Consider the vertical mounting style and thermoplastic housing material for compatibility with the target enclosure and thermal environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its 0.156-inch contact spacing and robust construction suitable for various industrial applications.
