Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status carefully, as some sources indicate the part may contain lead or be non-compliant depending on specific manufacturing batches. Confirm the exact plating specification and housing color with the supplier prior to ordering to ensure alignment with project requirements and regulatory standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with a standard 0.100-inch pitch is required. Ensure the mating board thickness and guide slot dimensions are compatible with the 'no ears' configuration. Verify that the tin-plated finish meets the environmental and conductivity needs of the application compared to gold alternatives.
