305-024-520-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount and through-hole installation. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and 0.140-inch (3.56 mm) row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a low-profile thermoplastic polyester insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm that the 0.156-inch pitch matches the target PCB layout. Check manufacturer documentation for RoHS compliance status and environmental operating temperature ranges before finalizing procurement specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 24 positions is required. Ensure the application supports vertical panel mounting and solder pin termination. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal specification for proper mechanical engagement and electrical reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for industrial and commercial electronics. The 305-024 variant specifically provides a 24-position interface suitable for moderate-density signal routing in panel-mount scenarios.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitutes. Ensure replacement parts maintain identical 0.156-inch pitch and 24-position count. Verify mechanical fit within existing panel cutouts and PCB footprint constraints.
