305-014-520-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-520-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features 14 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic housing to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up dimensions and verify RoHS compliance status for the intended manufacturing region before final procurement approval.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical card edge interface is required for systems operating up to 5A continuous current. Confirm that the mating card thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch for spacing requirements and verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for high-reliability environments. The 305-014-520-508 specifically denotes a 14-position variant with defined electrical ratings and material compositions consistent with the broader family standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 14-position dual-row configurations, such as 305-014-521-202, provided the mechanical footprint and electrical ratings remain identical. Cross-manufacturer replacements require strict verification of pitch, board thickness tolerance, and contact geometry.
