305-012-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-012-556-207 is a standard card edge connector header from the 305 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 12 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, this dual-row female connector utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with flanged housing for stable installation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Dual-edge female configuration compatible with non-specified double-sided PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and flange specifications. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm requirement. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the application's electrical load requirements before finalizing the component selection.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact 12-position connection is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention without excessive board space consumption. Consider the gold plating for environments requiring long-term reliability and low contact resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts ranging from small form factors to high-density configurations. All units in this family share consistent electrical characteristics and mounting styles, facilitating modular design across different product lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series ordering guide for alternative part numbers with differing position counts or flange types. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts when substituting components within the same series.
