305-014-521-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-203 is a standard card edge connector featuring 14 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. Designed for panel installation, it utilizes solder pin termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The connector accommodates printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm (0.054 to 0.070 inches). It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and is constructed from thermoplastic polyester insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact design for high-density interconnection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount style with vertical orientation
• Compatible with specified PCB thickness ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted connections
• Medical equipment interfaces demanding reliable signal integrity
• Agricultural technology hardware operating in harsh environments
• General electronic assemblies utilizing standard card edge protocols

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact physical dimensions and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 14-position interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits designs needing wider spacing for high-voltage isolation or mechanical stability. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm operational window. Consider the vertical mounting angle and solder pin termination method for assembly process alignment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for general-purpose interconnect solutions. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse board-to-board and board-to-panel connection needs. The 305 Series emphasizes durability and consistent electrical performance across industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 305-014-521-202 or 305-014-521-501, which share identical positioning and pitch but may differ in flange characteristics or packaging. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping.
