305-014-500-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-500-201 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 14 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) plating thickness, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Designed for free-hanging installation, it supports solder termination via eyelet terminals.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure mating alignment
• Features semi-corrugated contact types for enhanced retention force
• Constructed with thermoplastic polyester insulation for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized connections
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• General-purpose electronic modules needing robust card edge mating

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations. Confirm that the thermal rating of 105°C aligns with the operational environment. Cross-reference the RoHS status to meet regulatory compliance requirements for the target assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row female connector with polarizing capabilities is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 5A continuous current rating and 1800VACrms dielectric strength for circuit safety margins during design integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
