Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thicknesses and mounting styles. Confirm that the dual-edge design aligns with the target PCB layout specifications before finalizing procurement orders to prevent mechanical mismatch issues.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection with 116 positions is required on a standard 0.062-inch thick board. The vertical orientation and straddle mount style are critical factors for panel or chassis integration where space constraints dictate a non-protruding profile relative to the board surface.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 842 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and its focus on high-reliability performance in industrial and commercial sectors, offering a balance between density and mechanical stability.
