Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 316 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with required insulation color and contact plating options. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended board thickness and mounting requirements for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for non-specified card types. Ensure the design accommodates the specified board thickness range and utilizes through-hole soldering processes compatible with the connector's termination style and thermal profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 316 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, providing flexibility for different board densities and assembly methods while maintaining consistent dimensional standards for dual-edge applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 316 Series cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must match the 56-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge female contact configuration to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
