305-016-521-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-521-207 is a dual female card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for through-hole termination. 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 made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish, providing reliable electrical performance. Rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms insulation voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary
