305-016-520-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-016-520-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 16 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy terminals and a thermoplastic polyester housing. It accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct pin count, plating thickness, and termination style. Confirm that the requested variant matches the required panel mount orientation and board thickness specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and confirm the need for polarizing key acceptance features.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-016-520-504 specifically denotes a 16-position configuration with gold plating and thermoplastic housing, distinct from other series like 315 or 355 which may have different mechanical profiles.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or termination types. Cross-reference with EDAC 315 or 355 series only if mechanical footprint and electrical ratings are fully compatible.
