305-024-520-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-520-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration supports non-specified double-sided edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide durable electrical interfaces
• Panel mount design with vertical installation angle ensures stable positioning
• Solder pin termination method secures connection to the host board

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Establishing electrical connections between printed circuit boards and edge cards
• Panel-mounted interface solutions requiring vertical alignment
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard card edge modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact finish and housing material specifications. Ensure the target application accommodates the required 1.57 mm board thickness and 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. Confirm that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 24-position connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatibility with specific edge card layouts. Consider the gold contact finish for corrosion resistance and the solder pin termination for through-hole assembly processes. Validate that the thermal operating range meets the environmental requirements of the intended deployment scenario.

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 configurations while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305-024-520-568 specifically addresses needs for moderate density connections in panel-mount architectures, providing a robust interface solution within the broader family of edgeboard connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 305 series that share the same 24-position count and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility and terminal type equivalence before substitution. Ensure alternative suppliers offer identical gold contact finishes and panel mount styles to maintain system integrity.
