305-024-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-202 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows of 12 contacts each. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy semi-crimped terminals to ensure reliable signal transmission. It is compatible with board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in operating temperatures between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Provides a 5A continuous current rating with high dielectric strength
• Features semi-crimped contact design for robust solder joint integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring secure board-to-panel connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules needing reliable high-current pathways

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 305 Series Ordering Guide to confirm flange type, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical contact stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 3.96mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Confirm compatibility with polarizing key requirements if board retention is critical. Evaluate thermal performance needs against the -40°C to +105°C operating range and verify that the 5A current rating meets the application's power distribution demands without exceeding insulation resistance limits.
