Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm plating type and contact finish specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance and mounting style requirements for the target application design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row connection with 43 positions is required. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57mm. Evaluate the need for gold versus tin plating based on environmental conditions and cycle life expectations before finalizing the part number selection.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 307 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors with 3.96mm contact spacing and 5.08mm row spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting options for general-purpose electronic interconnection needs across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 307 series variants such as 307-043-521-101 for identical mechanical dimensions but different contact finishes. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 43-position count and 1.57mm board thickness acceptance criteria.
