305-014-521-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-558 is a dual-sided card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts PCBs with thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish, ensuring reliable electrical performance. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated half-bead contacts for corrosion resistance
• Flanged design with top opening for flush mounting
• Compatible with standard non-specified double-sided cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment needing reliable signal transmission
• Communication infrastructure hardware
• Consumer electronics manufacturing

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the accepted range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your project. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements if using between-contact or in-contact keys.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14-position dual-sided connection is required with a 0.156-inch pitch. Consider the green thermoplastic polyester insulator for standard industrial environments. Evaluate the need for flanged mounting versus other installation types. Verify that the 5A continuous current rating meets the application's power requirements. Compare against similar series parts if different row spacings or heights are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a range of card edge connectors with varying pin counts and configurations. The series is known for its low-profile insulator bodies and compatibility with standard PCB thicknesses. Other parts in the series may differ in position count, such as 26 or 52 positions, but share similar contact spacing and material characteristics.
