305-024-555-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-024-555-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and offers a continuous current rating of 5 A. Constructed with a thermoplastic insulator body, it supports dual-edge card configurations and includes flanges for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for enhanced alignment and security
• Features a low-profile insulator body with integrated flanges for secure panel mounting
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to provide durable electrical connections

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing modular board architectures
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and insulation material specifications. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check regional availability as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations if applicable to the end product requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 24-position vertical connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for appropriate voltage applications. Evaluate the need for polarizing key acceptance if board orientation security is critical. Compare against other series members if different board thicknesses or row counts are necessary.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in various electronic assemblies. The series provides options for different position counts and mounting styles while maintaining consistent electrical performance characteristics. The 305-024-555-202 specifically addresses applications requiring a dual-edge female connector with panel-mount capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 305-024-556-202, which shares similar physical dimensions but may differ in specific packaging or minor material attributes. Always verify pin count, pitch, and mounting style before substitution to maintain mechanical and electrical integrity.
