305-020-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-020-500-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 20 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm. The row spacing measures 3.56 mm, accommodating printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, while the insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material. Operating temperature ranges from -40 C to +105 C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination
• Compatible with 1.57 mm nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring card edge interface
• Industrial control systems utilizing modular board connections
• Communication equipment with standardized card edge requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging details prior to purchase. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of the thermoplastic housing and gold-plated contacts. Review datasheet specifications against application requirements to confirm compatibility with target PCB dimensions and electrical loads.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a vertical dual-row card edge connector is required for panel mounting applications. The 3.96 mm pitch and 20-position count define the interface geometry. Verify that the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature range for environmental suitability. Compare against other 305 series variants if different position counts or termination styles are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing. The 305-020-500-207 variant specifically provides a 20-position dual-row configuration with solder lug termination. It is part of a broader family of connectors designed for reliable vertical interconnection in industrial and commercial electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Other 305 series variants such as 305-018-555-208 or 305-032-500-207 offer similar mechanical and electrical characteristics with different position counts. Substitution requires verification of pin count compatibility and PCB footprint alignment. Ensure the replacement maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance.
