Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact contact plating, housing color, and termination style as defined in the official datasheet. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required board thickness and mounting orientation for your specific assembly. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if applicable to your project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-temperature standard card edge connector is required for single-edge PCBs. The 46-position count and 3.175 mm pitch must align with the target circuit board layout. Consider the vertical panel mount style and through-hole termination method for mechanical stability and electrical connection reliability in the final design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 846 series of high-temperature card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options tailored for robust industrial and specialized applications. The 846 series is characterized by its durable DAP housing and consistent performance under elevated thermal conditions compared to standard commercial-grade alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume interchangeability based on similar pitch or position counts alone. Verify all mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against the original specification sheet before considering any alternative components.
