305-016-555-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-016-555-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 16 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a solder lug termination type. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material. It supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides reliable signal communication and power connection via dual-row design
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Motherboard interconnections
• Daughterboard connections
• Extender board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm current availability status. Check RoHS compliance details directly from the manufacturer's datasheet. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required contact finish and housing color specifications. Confirm panel mounting requirements align with the vertical installation style before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Consider the 5A continuous current rating and 1800VACrms insulation resistance for appropriate electrical loads. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the supported range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm for proper contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides quality-engineered solutions for power and signal transmission. The series is specifically engineered for connections between motherboards, daughterboards, and extender boards in electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interface capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for compatible alternatives. Verify pin count, pitch, and mounting style compatibility before substituting. Cross-reference with other EDAC series such as 315 or 355 if dimensional differences are acceptable.
