305-024-500-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-500-258 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual row configuration 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 ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated semi-bellows contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount construction with threaded flange inserts for stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix '258' corresponds to the required flange feature, specifically the top opening with threaded inserts, as ordering codes define mechanical variations. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness limits and ensure the solder pin termination matches the assembly process requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust panel-mount solution with threaded mounting is required for dual-edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch and 24-position count suit high-density industrial interfaces. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range and that the green thermoplastic insulator meets material constraints.

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 styles. The 305-024-500-258 specifically denotes a 24-position variant with solder pin termination and a specialized flange configuration compared to flush-mount alternatives in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other 305 series variants with matching 24 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-024-500-202, provided the flange mounting style aligns with the enclosure design. Verify electrical ratings and insulation material consistency when cross-referencing.
