305-016-556-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-016-556-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 16 positions and a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold plating on the mating area with tin plating on tails over nickel underplating. Rated for 5 amps current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount style for stable installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and row configuration against the target PCB footprint before ordering. Confirm that the housing color and material specifications meet environmental requirements. Ensure compatibility with the intended board thickness to guarantee proper mechanical retention during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, high-reliability connection is needed for thin circuit boards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard trace widths while maintaining compact density. Consider the thermal rating if the application involves significant heat dissipation near the connector interface.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to EDAC's 305 series of edgeboard connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to suit different board sizes. The 305-016 variant provides a compact solution for applications requiring fewer connections in a dual-row format.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 16-position dual-row layouts. Verify that alternative vendors offer identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness support to maintain mechanical fit.
