Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination methods. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or authorized distributor prior to purchase. Cross-reference the part number with official EDAC documentation to validate availability and lead times, as distribution channels may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount card edge interface is required for 24-position circuits. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and 0.200-inch row spacing. Verify that the target PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch specification. Consider the wire wrap termination requirement during assembly planning and confirm thermal ratings align with the operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 357 series, which provides standard card edge solutions for various industries. The series offers multiple position counts and mounting styles, utilizing consistent 0.156-inch spacing.
