305-016-500-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-500-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 16 positions with a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and supports dual-edge readout configurations. The connector accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it employs solder eyelet termination methods. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style and housing color against official datasheets before procurement. Confirm that the polarizing key compatibility matches system requirements. Ensure the panel mounting orientation aligns with mechanical constraints. Cross-reference the 1800 VACrms rating with safety standards applicable to the target deployment environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge interface with 16 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible PCB trace layouts. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified thermal limits. Consider the polarizing key acceptance feature if precise alignment during insertion is critical for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles while maintaining consistent pitch and current ratings. The 305-016-500-504 specifically addresses needs for compact, high-reliability connections in portable and specialized electronic devices requiring robust electrical interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 16-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same dual-edge readout capability and gold plating specifications. Verify that alternative models support the required 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage.
