Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and material specifications, as variations exist within the 306 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the required current rating and environmental operating conditions for the intended application.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified tolerance range. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature limits to ensure compatibility with the system's electrical and thermal requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 306 Series, which offers various position counts and termination options. It serves as a robust connection interface for double-sided card edge boards in demanding environments. The series is characterized by its durable construction and standardized dimensions for broad interoperability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 306 series variants with matching 20-position layouts and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-reference mechanical drawings to ensure identical mounting hole patterns and overall envelope dimensions before substitution.
