Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 379 Series guide to ensure compatibility with required flange and tail specifications. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with standard packaging configurations. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to validate current availability status and lead times before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with wire wrap termination is required. Ensure the printed circuit board design accommodates the 0.156-inch spacing and 0.200-inch row pitch. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to 105°C range and that the PCB thickness falls between 0.054 and 0.070 inches for proper mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 379 Series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction and reliable performance in elevated thermal conditions. The 379-012-542-208 variant specifically offers a 12-position configuration, distinguishing it from other pin counts within the same family while maintaining consistent electrical and mechanical standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 379 Series cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains identical pin count, spacing, and termination type. Generic equivalents may not match the specific high-temperature ratings or mechanical tolerances of the original component.
