305-016-556-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-556-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board connections. It features 16 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current at an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Designed for panel mounting, it accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.
