305-018-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-018-500-207 is a standard card edge connector featuring 18 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A continuous current. It supports PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm and employs solder lug termination. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features gold plating on the mating area for reliable signal transmission
• Utilizes tin plating on tails with nickel underplating for robust termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control module connections
• Telecommunications hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination style against project requirements, as variations exist within the series. Confirm that the polarizing key compatibility matches the design specifications. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing 18 positions with high current capacity. Consider the panel mount style and vertical orientation during mechanical integration. Verify compatibility with existing polarizing key systems if used in constrained spaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts while maintaining consistent pitch and mounting characteristics. It serves as a reliable interface solution for connecting circuit boards to backplanes or panels in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching pitch and position counts. Verify electrical ratings and physical dimensions before substitution. Ensure termination types align with available board layout options.
