Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and flange configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and edge card specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and material declarations with current regulatory requirements for the intended deployment region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 58-position interface is required with a standard 2.54 mm pitch. The flush mount flange with threaded inserts suits panel or chassis mounting applications. Verify that the target circuit board utilizes a single-edge design compatible with the specified contact type and insulation material properties.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 342 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by green thermoplastic polyester housings and 0.100 inch spacing. These connectors are engineered for general-purpose electronic applications requiring durable, high-reliability board-to-board or backplane connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 342 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitute part numbers. Verify mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and termination methods match the original design requirements before substituting.
