305-024-521-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-521-508 is a dual-edge card edge connector with 24 positions arranged in two rows of twelve. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The connector utilizes gold-plated half-waffle contacts for reliable signal transmission. Designed for panel mounting via through-hole termination, it includes flange features for secure installation. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and employs a thermoplastic polyester insulator.
