305-016-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-555-507 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features 16 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The connector utilizes female contacts made from copper alloy, finished with gold plating on the mating area to ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulator is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration for high-density interconnects
• Vertical panel mount style with flush mount flange
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic insulation rated for wide temperature ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces

• Test and measurement instrument boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required mounting hardware, as variations exist within the series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure that the selected variant aligns with the intended PCB thickness and current rating requirements for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical panel-mount solution is required for 16-position signaling. The 3.96mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while the gold contact finish supports frequent mating cycles. Consider the thermal stability of the thermoplastic housing if operating near the upper temperature limits defined in the datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various card edge connectors with different row counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating interchangeability within industrial design frameworks. The 305-016 model specifically addresses needs for moderate pin counts in panel-mounted configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical pin counts and pitch but differing mounting features. Cross-brand replacements require careful verification of mechanical envelope, electrical ratings, and contact geometry to ensure functional compatibility without redesigning the host PCB.
