Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB edge thickness and mating force specifications for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Confirm that the PCB edge card thickness falls within the connector's specified tolerance range. Verify that the operating temperature requirements align with the -40°C to 105°C rating provided by the manufacturer.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 356 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and housing colors to accommodate different board densities and aesthetic requirements while maintaining consistent mechanical interface dimensions for compatibility across designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 24-position dual-edge configuration and 0.156-inch pitch. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and electrical ratings before substituting with other manufacturers' components.
