305-014-520-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-520-503 is a dual-row card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount and through-hole installation. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and a half-beehive contact type. It is rated for a card thickness of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and uses thermoplastic polyester insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact physical dimensions and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB layout regarding hole spacing and mounting orientation. Confirm that the specified card thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070 inch operational range for proper contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 14-position interface is required with a standard 3.96mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding robust panel mounting with through-hole soldering. Consider the operating temperature range and material composition if environmental resilience is critical. Validate that the mating card meets the specified thickness constraints for optimal performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
