305-024-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-500-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it ensures low contact resistance and durability. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, providing stability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female design accommodates non-specified card types for versatile integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body facilitates compact panel or PCB mounting configurations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Computer peripheral interface modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact termination style and flange configuration. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to the assembly. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the intended board thickness specification of 1.57 mm to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 24 positions is required. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch for compatibility with existing board layouts. Evaluate the thermal rating of 105°C against operational demands. Verify that the vertical or straight mounting style suits the enclosure constraints. Assess the need for gold plating based on environmental exposure levels.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to support diverse design requirements. Components in this family typically feature robust thermoplastic insulation and high-conductivity contact materials suitable for general-purpose industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305 series variants such as 305-024-500-202 for similar specifications. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution. Ensure mechanical dimensions match the existing footprint to avoid rework.
