305-016-556-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 305-016-556-558 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 16 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, the unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount configuration for stable integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for conductivity
• Solder pin termination method for secure connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Standard card edge interface applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and RoHS compliance status directly with EDAC Inc. or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness requirement aligns with your design specifications. Ensure the vertical orientation and solder pin termination match your assembly process capabilities. Cross-reference the 3.96 mm pitch against mating card edge requirements to prevent mechanical incompatibility during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for 16-position interfaces. The 3.96 mm pitch distinguishes it from standard 2.54 mm connectors. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Ensure the panel mounting style fits the enclosure design constraints compared to surface mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. It is designed for robust industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable high-current connections. The 305 series provides consistent performance across different configurations within the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC Inc. for direct substitutes within the 305 series. Verify compatibility with mating cards having identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm thickness. Check if alternative termination styles like solder lugs are acceptable for the application.
