Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct contact plating and orientation specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper mechanical engagement. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated environments. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the gold plating before installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a single-row, 12-position connection is required with a 2.54mm pitch. Consider the vertical mounting profile and through-hole termination method for PCB layout compatibility. Evaluate the thermal operating range against environmental conditions. Compare against other 395 series variants if higher pin counts or different orientations are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 345/395 series of card edge connectors. These connectors are widely used in modular electronic designs requiring robust interconnects. The series offers various pin counts and configurations to support diverse application needs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical performance standards across the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for direct cross-references. Verify dimensional tolerances and contact geometry compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents. Ensure any alternative maintains the same pitch and termination style.
