Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct pin count, plating, and mounting style compatibility. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper mechanical fit. Check regional availability and lead times through authorized distributors as supply status may vary by location.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 67-position connection is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature limits. Verify that the wire wrap termination method aligns with the assembly process and that the 3 A current rating meets the circuit requirements without derating concerns.
