Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange configuration. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current manufacturer declarations. Confirm lead times with authorized distributors as availability may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-sided 56-position interface is required for vertical board-to-board or board-to-cable connections. Verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 3 A current rating for power distribution needs. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the target PCB design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 345 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse electronic applications. The 345 series is known for robust construction suitable for harsh environments. This specific model represents a high-density single-sided option within the broader product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 56-position count, 2.54 mm pitch, and single-sided female configuration. Verify identical mounting style and current ratings. Consult EDAC technical support for cross-referencing alternative part numbers with equivalent mechanical and electrical specifications.
