305-014-500-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-500-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 14 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it ensures reliable electrical performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Compatible with 1.57 mm nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronics module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, row configuration, and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and panel mounting requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and RoHS compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current capable card edge connector is required for panel-mounted systems. The 3.96 mm pitch offers reduced density compared to finer pitches, suitable for higher power applications. Verify that the dual-edge design aligns with the system's signal routing needs and that the thermal rating meets the operational environment constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their durable thermoplastic insulators and semi-beehive contact designs. The series provides various position counts and mounting options, serving as a versatile solution for connecting edgeboards to chassis or panel-mounted headers in demanding electronic environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 14-position dual-edge configurations, such as 305-014-520-201 or 305-014-521-202, provided the termination style and flange characteristics match the existing assembly requirements.
