305-024-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-edge PCB insertion. It features 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a maximum board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, providing a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Rated for voltages up to 1800 VACrms, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is green thermoplastic, and the unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure panel mounting.
