The Endcap Disc DIRC allows to positively identify charged kaons in the PANDA forward endcap solid angle range, namely kaon-pion separation from 1 up to 4 GeV/c with a separation power of at least 3 standard deviations. Design, performance, and components of this DIRC are given, including the recently introduced TOFPET-ASIC based read-out. Results of a prototype operated in a test beam at DESY in 2016 are shown.
