305-018-500-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-018-500-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features an 18-position configuration with a 3.96 mm pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and employs a solder lug termination type. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing reliable insulation and mechanical stability for dual-edge card connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms rating
• Features gold plating on mating areas for low contact resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control module interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 507 corresponds to the required termination style and flange characteristics for your assembly. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Ensure that the polarizing key requirements match the system design constraints before finalizing the order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution with solder lug termination is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits larger signal or power distribution needs compared to finer pitches. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements and that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch. The 305-018-500-507 specifically addresses applications requiring robust panel mounting with durable gold-plated contacts and thermoplastic insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305 series variants such as 305-018-500-203 or 305-018-555-508 if different mounting angles or termination types are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility.
