305-014-520-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-520-212 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel and through-hole mounting. It features a dual female configuration with 14 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with a gold finish, rated for 5 A current. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator for environmental stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct flange and terminal specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in your assembly process. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and mounting hardware before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 14-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications needing vertical orientation and panel mounting stability. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal limits when designing power distribution. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical constraints for proper engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for durability and precise alignment. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic assembly needs. Components in this family typically feature high-cycle life ratings and corrosion-resistant contact finishes for long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or flange options. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 3.96 mm pitch dual-edge connectors only if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical mounting style and solder termination type.
