Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact physical dimensions and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market. Confirm that the package quantity aligns with production needs without relying on distributor estimates.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Verify that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified operational range. Consider the operating temperature limits to ensure environmental suitability. Evaluate the flush mount requirement against available chassis space constraints.
