305-014-555-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-555-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 14 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation material for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange characteristics and row spacing. Confirm that the dual-edge female configuration aligns with the target PCB card specifications. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range for the intended environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, dual-edge connection is required for boards between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm thick. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the PCB trace layout density. Consider the green housing color for visual identification if relevant to the assembly process. Verify that the panel mount style fits the mechanical constraints of the enclosure design compared to through-hole alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a range of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different interface requirements. The 305-014-555-512 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density connections with high reliability standards typical of industrial-grade hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-014-521-202 for similar electrical characteristics but verify mechanical differences in flange features and row spacing before substitution.
