305-014-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-555-201 is a dual-edge card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows of seven contacts each. The connector utilizes semi-bellows female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. It accepts non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms dielectric strength, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge design accommodates non-specified card types with semi-bellows contact geometry for secure engagement.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance.
• Thermoplastic polyester housing ensures high insulation resistance and thermal stability.
• Panel mount configuration with flanged features facilitates secure mechanical installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Card extender modules requiring dual-edge interface
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge boards
• Electronic equipment needing robust panel-mounted interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact type and termination style. Confirm compatibility with the target card thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits. Check for any specific polarizing key requirements if in-contact or between-contact keys are utilized. Validate that the gold plating specification meets the intended conductivity needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Consider the 305 series for applications demanding high durability and semi-bellows contact retention. Evaluate the panel mount option against available board space and mechanical constraints. Verify that the 5A current rating suffices for the circuit load. Ensure the green thermoplastic housing material aligns with environmental exposure requirements.
