305-024-500-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-500-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and dual rows of female contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy terminals with solder lug termination. It supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 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 card edge applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals ensure reliable signal transmission
• Solder lug termination facilitates secure panel mount installation
• Thermoplastic insulator housing provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm terminal type and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current capable card edge interface is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard industrial board layouts. Consider the 5 A current rating and wide operating temperature range for demanding environments. Verify that the dual-edge female contact type matches the mating card specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for durability in harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch dimensions across the lineup. These connectors are widely utilized in sectors requiring reliable electrical connections under vibration and thermal stress conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-014-521-202 or 305-038-520-502 if different pin counts are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row female configuration. Verify that alternative parts support the same board thickness and panel mount orientation.
