Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm physical dimensions and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the 44-position dual-row layout meets the design requirements. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest manufacturer data sheet prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 44-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding vertical through-hole mounting on 0.062-inch thick boards. Consider the 3 A current rating and gold contact plating for signal integrity needs. Verify that the thermoplastic polyester housing meets environmental constraints for the intended operational temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 333 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations for diverse interface requirements. The 333-044-540-204 specifically addresses the need for a 44-position dual-row solution with standard spacing parameters common in legacy and modern industrial designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC datasheet for direct cross-references. Alternative parts within the 333 series may offer different position counts but share similar mechanical interfaces. Verify pinout compatibility before substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents.
