305-014-555-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-555-258 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female termination with 14 positions arranged in two rows of seven. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, providing a 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Dual female termination with gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Thermoplastic housing with vertical panel mount design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized card edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment with high-voltage isolation needs
• Test and measurement devices utilizing standardized 305 series modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and REACH restrictions before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact configuration and housing color. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements for between-contact or in-contact installation. Check for any regional distribution limitations or supply chain constraints affecting availability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-row female termination with 14 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability. Gold plating ensures reliable signal integrity over repeated mating cycles. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 to 1.78 mm acceptance range for proper engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

Part of the EDAC 305 series, which provides standardized card edge connectors for various industrial applications. The series offers multiple position counts and configurations while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. This model specifically addresses dual-edge female connection needs with polarizing key support capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 305 series models with identical 14-position dual female configurations. Verify matching pitch, current ratings, and polarizing key compatibility when selecting alternatives. Cross-reference part numbers within the same manufacturer family for direct functional equivalence.
