Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 387 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact flange and termination specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB stack-up dimensions and verify RoHS3 compliance status prior to final procurement authorization.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row, 9-position female connector is required for vertical board insertion. Confirm that the target circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Validate that the operating environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C thermal limits defined by the material specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 387 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for high-reliability applications. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, utilizing consistent 0.156-inch spacing to maintain mechanical and electrical uniformity across different product configurations within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Direct replacements must match the 9-position count, single-row layout, and 0.156-inch pitch to ensure mechanical fit and electrical continuity without redesigning the host PCB footprint.
