305-014-555-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-014-555-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 14 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination
• Dual-row female contact configuration for dual-edge card interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge connections
• Electronic modules utilizing polarized keying mechanisms
• Panel-mounted interface hardware operating in extreme temperatures

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-edge card compatibility. Confirm that the thermal environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational limits. Ensure the PCB layout supports the required solder lug termination style. Check for any regulatory compliance requirements regarding RoHS or REACH status before final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution is necessary for dual-edge circuit boards. The 14-position count suits moderate-density interconnect needs. The inclusion of polarizing key acceptance ensures precise alignment during assembly. Consider the 5 A current rating against the total load requirements of the connected circuitry.
