305-024-500-278

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-024-500-278 is a standard card edge connector featuring 24 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm pitch and accepts PCBs with thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The component supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms. Contact plating is gold over copper alloy, housed in green thermoplastic polyester. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features half-beam contact design for reliable signal transmission
• Provides panel mount installation with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, plating thickness, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements. Confirm that the thermal rating aligns with operational environments. Cross-reference the RoHS status if environmental compliance is mandatory for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm acceptance range. Consider the vertical panel mount style for chassis integration needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by high-density layouts and durable construction suitable for demanding environments. The 305 series typically offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate diverse circuit board architectures.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the same 305 series family sharing identical pitch and position counts. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution.
