305-014-556-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-014-556-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 14 positions and a contact pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with low-profile insulator body
• Dual-edge female contacts for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for durability
• Solder pin termination for robust mechanical connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring reliable I/O connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Embedded computing modules and carrier boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm exact physical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm that the gold plating requirements meet the application's environmental standards. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise mating force and retention characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 14-position interface is required for vertical panel installation. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while maintaining a compact footprint. Consider the gold contact finish for applications demanding high corrosion resistance and stable electrical performance over repeated mating cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which provides various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its standardized 3.96 mm pitch and robust construction suitable for harsh environments. Similar parts in the series vary primarily by the number of positions and specific mounting hardware configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variants with different position counts such as 305-012-556-568 or 305-022-556-568, provided the row spacing and pitch remain compatible. Verify that any alternative maintains the same vertical panel mount style and dual-row configuration.
