305-024-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-500-558 is a standard card edge connector header 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 contacts are made of copper alloy and gold-plated, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, and the connector accepts PCBs with a thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides high insulation resistance of 5 GOhms
• Supports 1800VACrms voltage rating
• Features solder lug termination for reliable panel mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized connections
• Panel-mounted electronic interfaces
• High-reliability signal transmission modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating, housing color, and flange characteristics. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range before procurement. Check regional distributor availability as stock levels may vary.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 24-position card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. Ensure compatibility with polarizing key requirements if mechanical locking is necessary. Verify that the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch and robust construction suitable for demanding industrial environments. The 305-024 variant specifically provides 24 positions for compact dual-edge board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and position count but different suffixes for variations in housing color or flange options. Cross-series replacements require matching the 3.96 mm pitch and 24-position dual-row layout.
