Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target printed circuit board accommodates the specified 1.57 mm thickness requirement to ensure proper mechanical fit. Confirm that the application environment remains within the operational temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Ensure that the single-edge mating orientation aligns with the system design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row connection is required for vertical panel mounting. The 14-position count suits moderate I/O density needs. Verify compatibility with the specific card thickness tolerance and confirm that the solder pin termination method matches the assembly process capabilities of the manufacturing facility.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 342 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse electronic interconnection requirements.
