Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Samtec documentation to ensure correct termination style and packaging configuration. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required polarization and card thickness specifications for the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate availability and authenticity before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1.00 mm pitch vertical socket is required for thin profile designs. Ensure the mating card thickness aligns with the .062" specification. Consider the LCP material properties for thermal stability within the specified temperature range. Verify that the 16-position count meets the circuit density requirements without necessitating additional connectors.
