305-014-521-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-501 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The contacts are semi-bellows type made of copper alloy with gold plating, ensuring reliable electrical performance. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
