305-012-556-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-012-556-502 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 12 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. This component supports solder pin termination and accommodates standard board thicknesses within the 305 series specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure card insertion
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount style for structural stability
• Thermoplastic insulation provides electrical isolation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules

• Embedded computing peripheral connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and flange characteristics match design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status for environmental regulations. Ensure panel cutout dimensions align with the specified flange diameter and mounting hole spacing to guarantee proper mechanical fit during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12-position dual-edge interface is required with a 3.96mm pitch. Consider the vertical mounting orientation and solder pin termination method for PCB integration. Evaluate thermal operating limits against system environment conditions. Compare against other 305 series variants if different position counts or pitch standards are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component 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 addresses applications requiring a compact 12-contact interface with robust mechanical retention and high-temperature resistance capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 305-012-556-204 for alternative plating options. Verify compatibility with EDAC 305-012-500-202 regarding mechanical dimensions. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and dual-edge female configuration.
