Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact contact plating thickness, insulation color, and terminal length specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB card thickness and panel cutout dimensions prior to procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm authenticity and traceability documentation availability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 82-position interface is required with a standard 0.125-inch pitch. Consider the vertical mounting style and through-hole termination method for applications requiring mechanical rigidity. Evaluate the 3 A current rating and wide operating temperature range against the thermal and electrical demands of the specific circuit design to ensure long-term reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 346 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for general-purpose electronic applications. The series offers various position counts and termination options, providing flexibility for different board densities. As a product of EDAC Inc., it adheres to industry standards for dimensional accuracy and material performance in commercial and industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 82-position count, 3.175 mm pitch, dual-edge configuration, and vertical through-hole termination. Verify that alternative components maintain identical current ratings and operating temperature ranges. Consult the official EDAC cross-reference guide or distributor databases for confirmed equivalent part numbers from the same manufacturer family.
