305-012-555-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-012-555-207 is a standard card edge connector featuring 12 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 5 A current rating and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. Designed for vertical panel mounting, it uses solder lug termination. The thermoplastic housing supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating specifications and mechanical tolerances. Confirm availability status through authorized distributors as supply conditions may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements before procurement. Validate that the selected variant meets all necessary environmental and electrical standards for the intended application.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Consider the 5 A continuous current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for appropriate voltage handling. Verify that the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm design specification. Evaluate the need for polarizing keys to ensure correct orientation during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. These connectors are designed for robust industrial environments, providing reliable electrical connections between edgeboards and host systems through precise mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for verified substitute part numbers within the same series or compatible families. Ensure any replacement maintains identical pitch, row configuration, and mounting style specifications.
