305-014-521-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-508 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 305 series. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a half-beam design, suitable for solder termination. Designed for panel and through-hole mounting, it accommodates board thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with half-beam contact design for secure mating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides structural stability and thermal resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted interconnect systems requiring vertical orientation
• Industrial control boards utilizing standard card edge profiles
• Electronic assemblies needing robust through-hole solder termination

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm plating thickness and flange specifications. Ensure the target application matches the specified board thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm RoHS3 compliance requirements align with project standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel installation. The half-beam contact style offers flexibility for non-specified card edges. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets environmental constraints. Ensure the through-hole mounting style is compatible with the PCB layout and manufacturing process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options for industrial applications. The 305-014 variant specifically provides a compact 14-position interface. It is designed for durability in demanding environments using high-grade thermoplastic materials.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same pitch and row count. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact type compatibility before substitution. Ensure alternative parts meet the same thermal and electrical performance criteria.
