305-014-521-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-268 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 14 positions arranged in two rows, providing a total of 28 contact points. The connector utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it ensures reliable signal transmission. 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 design accommodates non-specified double-sided card edges
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation offers thermal stability within specified operating ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Vertical interconnection between circuit boards and backplanes
• Panel-mounted modular electronic systems requiring robust connectivity
• Industrial control units utilizing standard card edge form factors

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current series guide to ensure compatibility with required flange characteristics and termination styles. Confirm that the target application board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided card edges. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and verify that the environmental conditions remain within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits defined by the thermoplastic housing material.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series includes various position counts and mounting configurations, all sharing common interface standards such as the 0.156-inch pitch and gold-plated contact finishes for consistent performance across different module densities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 305-series variants with identical pin counts and pitch, such as 305-014-521-208 or 305-014-521-202, provided the flange and termination specifications match the original design requirements.
