305-024-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-521-568 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mounting applications. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual configuration with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder pin termination type. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The insulator body is green, and the unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified card edge connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Low profile insulator body design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-panel interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment housing modular circuit cards
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• Automotive electronics assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified acceptance range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm that the mating card edge material is compatible with the connector's mechanical retention features. Ensure the application environment remains within the rated operating temperature limits. Cross-reference the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm exact plating and insulation specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted installations. Consider the 24-position count and vertical mounting orientation relative to available chassis space. Evaluate the thermal performance requirements against the -40°C to 105°C operational range. Compare physical dimensions against the provided CAD models to ensure proper fit within the designated enclosure area.

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 tailored for diverse industrial and commercial applications. The 305 series is characterized by its durable construction and consistent electrical performance across different environmental conditions.
