305-012-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-012-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female termination on non-specified double-sided cards. It features 12 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Housing material is thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration with half-beam contact type for secure mating
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets rather than distributor summaries.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided card edges. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard industrial board layouts. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets system power requirements and that the thermoplastic housing withstands environmental temperatures up to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-012 variant specifically provides a compact 12-position interface suitable for applications needing moderate I/O density in a vertical panel-mount form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations
