305-014-500-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-500-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features 14 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Electrical specifications include a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and employs solder eyelet termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct termination style and flange configuration. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the design requirements. Check regional distribution availability as some variants may have restricted sales territories or limited stock levels.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution with 14 positions is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch specification. Verify that the 5A current rating meets the system's power transmission needs and that the operating temperature range suits the environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent spacing and mechanical robustness. These connectors are engineered for durability in demanding industrial environments, providing stable signal and power transmission across multiple board interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series variants such as 305-014-520-203 if different termination styles are needed. Verify dimensional compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents to ensure proper fit within the panel mount aperture.
