305-024-555-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-555-501 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. 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). Contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating finish, housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Through-hole termination for reliable PCB attachment
• Gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Consumer electronics internal module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure compatibility with required flange styles and mounting configurations. Confirm that the target application supports the specified 0.156-inch pitch and board thickness constraints. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector is required for standard 0.062-inch thick boards. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch centerline spacing. Consider the through-hole mounting style for mechanical stability during high-vibration operations compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-024-555-501 specifically provides a 24-position solution with a low-profile body, suitable for applications needing moderate density interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for cross-referencing. Verify pin count, pitch, and mounting type before substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents to maintain mechanical and electrical interface integrity.
