305-014-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-556-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 14 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes female half-beehive contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating. It employs a solder pin termination style and is rated for 5 A current. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, ensuring operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy half-beehive contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount vertical installation with flange mounting options
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation for environmental stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm flange characteristics and terminal type. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 14-position count suits moderate-density signal routing. Consider the half-beehive contact design for high-mating cycle durability. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the intended deployment scenario.
