• Military and aerospace equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version before procurement, as manufacturers may issue product change notifications that alter physical dimensions or material specifications. Confirm that the target application environment remains within the stated thermal limits and that the wire wrap termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection is required for thicker PCBs due to the 0.125-inch pitch. Ensure the design accommodates the vertical panel mount style and wire wrap termination. Verify that the 3A current rating per contact meets the circuit requirements and that the operating temperature range covers the expected environmental extremes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 896 series, which specializes in high-temperature card edge connectors. The series provides robust solutions for demanding environments where standard connectors might fail. The 896 series typically offers various position counts and row configurations to suit different board thicknesses and connectivity needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 896 series parts with matching 42-position dual-row layouts and 0.125-inch pitch. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verifying identical pitch, row count, termination type, and thermal ratings to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
