305-014-500-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-500-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with vertical orientation. It features 14 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts PCB thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides reliable electrical connection through gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Supports dual-edge card insertion with half-bellows contact type

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-density interconnects
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Communication equipment modules needing robust signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and termination style. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits of -40°C to +105°C. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise mechanical dimensions before integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row header with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. It is suitable for designs needing polarizing key acceptance and a 5 A current rating. Consider the green thermoplastic housing material and solder lug termination method for assembly compatibility.

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 mechanical and electrical performance standards. These connectors are widely used in modular electronic systems where reliable board-to-board or board-to-panel connections are essential.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination styles. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 0.156 inch pitch and dual-row configuration.
