305-022-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-022-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge printed circuit board applications. It features a 22-position configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector supports a nominal PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
