305-024-520-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-024-520-203 is a standard card edge connector featuring 24 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row pitch. Designed for vertical panel mounting, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features a low-profile thermoplastic insulator body
• Supports high voltage isolation up to 1800VACrms

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB modules
• Equipment needing polarized connection alignment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct pin count, plating, and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target application environment remains within the specified temperature range and current ratings. Check for RoHS compliance status updates prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertical mount connector is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and allows space for polarizing keys if mechanical stability is critical. Verify that the 5 A current capacity meets the electrical load requirements of the specific circuit paths.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing common electrical characteristics such as the 5 A rating and gold-plated contacts. It serves as a reliable interface solution for modular electronic designs requiring durable connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants for different position counts or mounting angles. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substituting with connectors from other manufacturers to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and panel cutouts.
