Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating and housing material specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer datasheet prior to integration. Check regional availability as distribution may be restricted in certain areas. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 68-position count and 3.175 mm pitch for proper board compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 68-position connection is required in a vertical form factor. The 3.175 mm pitch suits standard double-sided PCB designs. Consider the +125 C maximum operating temperature for environments requiring thermal stability. Verify that the 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance aligns with the target circuit board manufacturing specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 346 series, which provides standard card edge solutions. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 346-068-558-858 specifically addresses needs for robust vertical connections in industrial and specialized sectors like medical and agricultural technology where durability is essential.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 346 series variants such as 346-080-520-802 or 346-068-526-803 if different termination types or housing materials are required. Ensure any substitute maintains the 68-position count and 3.175 mm pitch for mechanical fit.
