Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly. Cross-reference the part number with official EDAC documentation to validate pin count and row configuration before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-row interface with 0.156-inch spacing is required for wire wrap applications. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified range for proper contact engagement. Consider the high-profile body design for adequate clearance in dense assemblies. Verify that the cantilever contact type meets the mating force requirements of the system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 837 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors characterized by robust mechanical design and versatile termination options. The series supports various pin counts and row configurations, catering to diverse interconnect needs in electronic assemblies requiring durable and reliable connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 837 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing pin counts or row configurations. Verify that any alternative maintains the same contact spacing and termination method to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
