Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact mechanical variations such as flange configurations or plating thicknesses. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Cross-reference distributor part numbers with EDAC manufacturer identifiers to avoid substitution errors during sourcing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when single-sided card edge connectivity is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational range. Confirm that the mating board thickness falls between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Consider the vertical panel mounting style for integration into chassis designs requiring direct board insertion.
