Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and hole dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm compliance with current environmental regulations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 3.175 mm pitch is required. The 14-position count suits moderate-density applications. Verify that the vertical orientation and solder pin termination align with the assembly process. Confirm thermal ratings meet the operational environment requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 346 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 346 series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic polyester housings and standardized contact spacing, serving as a foundational interconnect solution for general-purpose electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes require matching the 14-position count, dual-row layout, 3.175 mm pitch, and vertical solder pin termination. Verify that alternative components maintain identical current ratings and operating temperature ranges to ensure functional equivalence.
