305-016-521-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-521-201 is a dual-sided card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 16 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a half-sleeve termination type, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C, it utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-sided female contact configuration for secure card insertion
• Gold-plated half-sleeve terminals for enhanced conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for thermal stability
• Through-hole solder termination for robust PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Medical device circuit boards
• Automotive electronic modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '201' against official EDAC documentation to confirm panel-mount orientation and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges of 1.37mm to 1.78mm. Confirm RoHS3 compliance requirements match project environmental standards before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided, 16-position connection is required with a standard 3.96mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding high thermal endurance up to 105°C. Consider the panel-mount installation style and specific flange dimensions if mechanical constraints exist within the enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, utilizing consistent 0.156-inch spacing. The 305-016 variant specifically addresses low-pin-count interface needs within industrial and commercial electronics sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 305-016-521-501 or 305-016-521-202 for alternative mounting configurations. Verify identical pitch and pin count before substitution. No direct substitutes from other manufacturers are confirmed in public data.
