305-024-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-555-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches), ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a solder pin termination type. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C, with a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required position count and row configuration for your design. Confirm that the PCB thickness falls within the specified range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications if required by your manufacturing standards. Validate that the panel mount hole dimensions align with the flange characteristics before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 24-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch is suitable for high-density applications where space efficiency is critical. Consider the 5 A current rating and temperature range for environmental suitability. Compare against other series variants if different board thicknesses or termination styles are needed. Ensure the gold plating meets corrosion resistance requirements for the operating environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various position counts and configurations for standard card edge applications. The series is characterized by its low-profile design and durable thermoplastic housing. Similar parts in the series differ primarily in position count, such as 14 or 38 positions, while maintaining consistent pitch and mounting styles. The 305 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics for reliable interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but different position counts, such as 305-014-555-212 or 305-038-555-212. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts and panel cutouts when considering alternative position counts. Cross-reference datasheets to confirm matching row spacing and board thickness tolerances.
