305-016-520-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-016-520-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-row applications. It features 16 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation and utilizes solder pin termination. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it offers a 5 A current rating. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, accommodating board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration for high-density interconnects
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount design with flush top opening flange
• Compatible with between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules
• Computing hardware peripheral connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm flange threading specifications, as variations exist within the series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required polarizing key compatibility if mechanical locking is necessary for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The vertical panel mount style suits enclosures needing direct board insertion. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to ensure proper contact engagement and mechanical stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various mounting options and row configurations. The series is characterized by its standardized 3.96 mm pitch and durable construction suitable for demanding environments. The 305-016-520-507 specifically denotes a 16-position dual-row variant with defined flange characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 305 Series variants with matching pitch and position counts, such as 305-016-520-202 or 305-016-520-504, provided flange threading requirements align. Cross-series replacement requires verifying pitch, row count, and mounting style compatibility.
