305-022-520-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-022-520-512 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 22 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm pitch and is designed for 1.57 mm thick circuit boards. The connector employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 5 A current rating and solder pin termination. Constructed with a thermoplastic polyester housing, it supports vertical panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design facilitates secure board integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact contact plating thickness and housing material variants. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge design requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection is required for 1.57 mm thick substrates. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and spacing. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified temperature range and that the 5 A current capacity meets the electrical load requirements of the system design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and row configurations. The 305-022-520-512 specifically addresses applications needing 22 positions with a dual-row layout, differing from single-row or different pitch alternatives within the broader product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching the 22-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row structure, and 1.57 mm board thickness specifications precisely.
