305-024-520-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features a 24-position configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating and half-beam termination types. It supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, accommodating PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy half-beam contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing providing structural stability and insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and mounting style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as availability may vary by region and production batch.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature limits for environmental suitability in the intended application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its standardized 3.96 mm spacing and durable construction suitable for high-reliability environments. Similar parts in the series include different position counts such as 305-038-520-502 and 305-052-520-201.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-024-520-201 variants with different housing colors or minor packaging differences. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch, row count, and mechanical dimensions.
