305-012-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-012-555-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 12 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm), ensuring reliable electrical interconnection in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination
• Low profile insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Panel-mounted electronic module integration
• General-purpose PCB edgeboard connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '555' corresponds to the required contact plating and insulation material specifications for your application environment. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal requirement to ensure proper mechanical retention. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount card edge connector with 12 positions is required. Ensure the mating PCB thickness is compatible with the 0.062-inch specification. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch for layout constraints. Verify that the dual female contact type matches the male header or board edge design of the mating assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for high-reliability applications. This specific model represents a mid-range position count within the series, balancing connectivity density with physical footprint constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical positioning but different plating or insulation colors. Cross-reference with similar 0.156-inch pitch connectors from other manufacturers only if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are fully verified.
