305-022-556-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-022-556-212 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 supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for non-specified double-edge cards
• Vertical panel mount style with solder pin termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure compatibility with required flange styles or plating thicknesses. Confirm that the target application board thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm requirement to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical continuity during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount interface is required for double-edge card applications. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 22-position layout. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C range and that the thermal properties of the thermoplastic housing are suitable for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 305-022-556-212 specifically denotes a 22-position dual-row variant with gold plating and vertical orientation, distinct from single-row or surface-mount alternatives in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the 22-position count and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating specifications before substituting with generic equivalents to maintain interface integrity.
