305-012-520-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-012-520-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge card applications. It features 12 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch and accommodates board thicknesses of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. Rated for 5 A current, it employs a solder lug termination type and is intended for panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing material for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment
• Automotive electronics

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version to confirm all mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before integration. Ensure that the target PCB or card design strictly adheres to the specified 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness requirements. Confirm compatibility with the required panel mounting style and solder lug termination process during the procurement phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing a 5 A current rating and robust gold-plated contacts. Consider the panel mount orientation and solder lug termination method as key selection criteria against other surface-mount alternatives in the 305 series.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, typically utilizing thermoplastic polyester housings and gold-plated contacts. The 305-012-520-201 specifically addresses the need for a 12-position dual-edge connector with panel mount capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for direct cross-references. Verify that any substitute maintains the identical 3.96 mm pitch, 12-position count, dual-edge configuration, and panel mount form factor to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
