305-014-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 14 positions in a dual female configuration, utilizing a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. This header supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It is rated for 5 A current and offers high insulation resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates double-sided card edges for robust mechanical retention and electrical connectivity.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and low contact impedance for stable signal integrity.
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation allows for secure integration into chassis or enclosure structures.
• Thermoplastic insulator housing ensures durability and compliance with environmental operating standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm contact plating, termination type, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and mounting hole dimensions before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and availability through authorized distributors, as supply chain conditions may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 14-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and gold-plated contact needs for long-term reliability in industrial environments compared to tin-plated alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a family of standard card edge connectors known for their versatility in panel-mounted applications. The series offers various position counts and termination options, allowing engineers to scale designs while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical characteristics across different product lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 14-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-014-521-504, provided the termination style and flange specifications align with the assembly requirements. Cross-brand replacements require strict verification of dimensional tolerances and contact geometry.
