305-022-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-022-556-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 22 positions arranged in a dual row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination. It accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with flush flange and top opening
• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified cards
• Gold-plated semi-bellows contact type for reliable engagement
• Threaded M3 insert feature for secure mechanical installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange features and contact plating specifications. Confirm that the target application board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical performance. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for dual-edge card applications. The 3.96 mm pitch and 22-position count define the interface density. Consider the threaded M3 flange requirement versus unthreaded variants found in other part numbers within the same series. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the deployment site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and flange configurations. The 305-022-556-207 specifically denotes the 22-position variant with a threaded M3 flange and gold contacts. Other suffixes in the series may indicate different flange types or contact materials.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 305-022-556-202 is a similar 22-position connector but features an unthreaded flange. Verify if the threaded M3 insert is strictly necessary for the mounting panel. Other series members like 305-020-556-207 share the same pitch but differ in position count.
