305-024-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a half-spring termination type and solder pin end connections. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Half-spring contact type provides secure board retention
• Panel mount style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm exact physical dimensions and termination styles. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate availability and lead times through authorized distributors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the housing material, typically thermoplastic polyester, meets environmental requirements. Consider the panel mount style for fixed installations rather than board-to-board stacking. Ensure the mating card design accommodates the half-spring contact geometry.
