305-024-500-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-500-503 is a dual-row female card edge connector designed for board-to-board interconnection. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts card thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold finish, providing a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. This component utilizes a solder lug termination method and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct contact type and termination style. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the system design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status relevant to the target market regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for standard card edge applications. Ensure the mating PCB card thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature limits when evaluating thermal and electrical loads for the intended circuit design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options to accommodate diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic housing and consistent dimensional tolerances for reliable mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with identical pin counts and pitch. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain the same dual-row female configuration and solder lug termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
