305-016-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual-edge configuration with 16 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Electrical specifications include a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, while the housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
