• High-profile insulator body constructed from durable polyphenylene sulfide
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity
• Designed for vertical panel mounting installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-temperature electronic assembly integration
• Panel-mounted interface connections
• Dual-row card edge board interfacing

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating, insulation color, and mounting orientation match project requirements. Confirm that the nominal PCB thickness of 0.062 inches aligns with the target board specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required panel cutout dimensions for the specified mounting style before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 16-position card edge connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 0.125-inch pitch suits standard double-sided PCB layouts. Consider the high-temperature rating and PPS material if operating environments exceed standard thermal limits. Verify that the dual-edge female design matches the mating card edge geometry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 896 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 896 series is characterized by its robust construction suitable for demanding industrial environments. This specific model represents a dual-row variant optimized for higher density signal or power routing within constrained panel spaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 896 series for alternative position counts. Verify mechanical fitment and electrical ratings against other manufacturers' dual-row card edge receptacles. Ensure mating card edge thickness and contact spacing remain identical to prevent connection failures.
