305-024-520-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount vertical installation. It features 24 positions with a 0.156" (3.96mm) pitch and accepts non-specified dual-edge cards. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. It supports a continuous current rating of 5A and withstands 1800VACrms dielectric voltage. The housing is green thermoplastic, accommodating board thicknesses between 0.054" and 0.070".

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides reliable electrical connection through gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Designed for vertical panel mounting with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized modular connections
• Test and measurement devices needing high dielectric strength connectors

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and contact plating thickness. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended PCB card thickness range of 0.054" to 0.070". Check manufacturer documentation for updated RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 5A current rating and 1800VACrms insulation capability. Verify that the host system supports the use of between-contact or in-contact polarizing keys if positional accuracy is critical for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their 0.156" (3.96mm) contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing a versatile solution for connecting edge-board circuits to backplanes or chassis-mounted headers in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitute part numbers with differing position counts or termination types. Generic cross-references may not guarantee identical polarizing key compatibility or dielectric performance specifications.
