Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact type and mounting style. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributor. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness and current rating specifications for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 12 positions is required. Verify that the 3.18 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge design. Consider the high-temperature rating if the operating environment exceeds standard commercial limits. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 846 series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 846-012-520-812 specifically provides a compact 12-position solution suitable for dense PCB layouts requiring robust thermal performance and durable electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Check for other 846 series variants with different position counts or termination types. Verify compatibility with mating card edge connectors of the same pitch and profile. Consult official substitution lists for direct replacements within the EDAC product line.
