Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact tail configuration and mounting options. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Cross-reference the UL certification status if required by end-product safety standards. Confirm that the dual-edge contact style matches the mating card edge design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when high-temperature resistance up to 125°C is critical for the application environment. Choose based on the requirement for 18-position connectivity with precise 0.156-inch spacing. Consider the PPS housing material for enhanced chemical and thermal resilience compared to standard alternatives. Verify panel mount constraints align with the vertical installation profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 887 series, specialized for high-temperature card edge applications. The series offers various tail styles including wire wrap and pin types. It is designed for robust performance in industrial and communication sectors where standard connectors may fail under thermal stress.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Check the 887-018-559-xxx series variants for alternative tail configurations. Verify cross-compatibility with other EDAC high-temperature receptacles sharing identical pitch and position counts.
