305-020-520-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-020-520-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications with 20 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current, it offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring panel-mounted headers
• Communication equipment utilizing vertical mounting styles
• Automotive electronics interfaces needing robust connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and regional shipping restrictions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The vertical mounting style suits panel mount applications, while straight variants exist for PCB mounting. Confirm that the 5 A current rating and 5 GOhms insulation resistance meet the system's electrical requirements. Verify the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the intended deployment.

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 configurations, including headers and receptacles. The 305 series is characterized by its durable construction and consistent performance in demanding electronic environments, supporting both vertical and straight installation orientations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series models with matching 20-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-020-520-504 or 305-020-555-208, provided the mounting style and termination type are verified.
