Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and termination details. Ensure compatibility with target PCB layout regarding hole spacing and board thickness constraints. Cross-reference RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements before integration into final product designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-row connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 66-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density within a compact footprint. Verify that the 1.57 mm board thickness falls within the acceptable tolerance range for the mating card edge to ensure proper contact engagement and mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 345 series, which provides standardized card edge solutions. The series offers various position counts and termination options to accommodate diverse design needs. The 345-066 variant specifically addresses requirements for higher density connections while maintaining the robust mechanical properties characteristic of the broader family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 345-066-521-258 and 345-066-520-688. These alternatives share similar form factors but may differ in termination style or flange configurations. Validate mechanical fit and electrical specifications before swapping components in existing assemblies.
