Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• General-purpose electronic assembly interconnects
• Industrial control system board connections
• Consumer electronics internal circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact plating thickness and material composition against the official manufacturer datasheet before integration. Confirm that the housing material meets the required thermal and flammability standards for the intended operating environment. Ensure the mating card edge thickness aligns with the connector's design specifications to guarantee proper retention and electrical contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided female connection is required for a 40-pin interface. The 0.100 inch pitch is standard for many legacy and industrial designs. Consider the mechanical retention requirements and the need for gold plating in environments where oxidation resistance is critical for long-term reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the CWR series of card edge connectors from CW Industries. These connectors are widely used in various electronic industries requiring reliable vertical or horizontal board connections. The series offers different pin counts and configurations to suit diverse application needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 40-position count, dual female type, and 0.100 inch pitch. Verify housing color and mounting style if mechanical constraints exist. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' equivalent series ensuring identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions.
