305-014-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-521-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual female edgeboard applications. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base. The connector supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation with solder lug termination. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for non-specified card edge connections
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination
• Thermoplastic insulator provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface boards
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing hardware interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm exact plating thickness and flange dimensions. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB stack-up and mechanical constraints before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental certifications required by the final assembly specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 14-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder lug termination method for integration. Evaluate the operating temperature range and insulation material properties against the environmental conditions of the intended deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options for card edge applications. The series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized pitch, facilitating interoperability across different industrial and commercial electronic systems requiring reliable edgeboard connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing pin counts or mounting styles. Verify that any alternative maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row female configuration to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
