305-024-555-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-555-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features 24 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts that are gold-plated, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The insulator body is green thermoplastic, providing durability in operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Low profile insulator body design suitable for space-constrained panel installations
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable signal transmission
• Vertical mounting style with solder lug termination for secure PCB connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses
• Test and measurement devices needing reliable vertical interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pin count and termination type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the part number with official EDAC documentation to avoid substitution errors during procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with 3.96 mm spacing is required for panel-mounted applications. It is appropriate for designs using 1.57 mm thick PCBs. Consider the 305 series characteristics for general-purpose industrial use. Evaluate thermal requirements against the -40°C to +105°C operational range. Verify mechanical fit within the enclosure constraints due to the low-profile body.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations for card edge connections. The series provides options for different position counts and termination styles. The 305-024 variant specifically addresses needs for 24-position connectivity. It shares design principles with other models in the 305, 315, and 355 families, focusing on reliability and standard dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical 24-position and 3.96 mm pitch specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and termination types match exactly. Alternative manufacturers may offer similar specs but require thorough validation of contact geometry and insulation material properties.
