305-024-555-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-555-503 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current, it supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for non-specified card edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides structural stability
• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness, insulation color, and flange specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness tolerance of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status and packaging quantity requirements prior to purchase to align with project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 24-position card edge interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style suits applications needing direct board insertion. Verify that the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C temperature range meet environmental demands. Compare with the 315 and 355 series variants if different housing colors or flange options are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 305 model line typically features thermoplastic polyester insulation and gold-plated contacts. It is distinct from the 315 and 355 series which may differ in housing material or flange design while maintaining similar electrical characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC 305-024-555-507 or 305-024-555-258 for alternative housing colors or flange variations within the same series. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substituting. Consult the official EDAC ordering guide for confirmed equivalent part numbers.
