305-024-555-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-555-512 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact pitch and a 0.140-inch (3.56 mm) row spacing. 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 provides reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of thermoplastic polyester, offering durability in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for connecting to both edges of a card edge PCB
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body provides structural stability
• Straddle mount installation style secures the connector across the board edge

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Test and measurement instruments needing reliable signal transmission
• Automotive electronics assemblies with specific form factor constraints

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix codes against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure compatibility with specific mounting requirements and contact plating specifications. Confirm that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 0.062 inches. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental compliance data with the latest datasheet before finalizing procurement orders to meet regulatory standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for a 24-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure the application environment supports the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. Verify that the straddle mount style aligns with the mechanical design of the enclosure. Consider the gold plating thickness if high-cycle mating durability is critical for the specific use case.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a range of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in position counts and mounting styles. The 305-024-555-512 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge connectivity, providing a stable interface for vertical or horizontal panel mounting configurations in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 24-position dual-edge specifications. Verify that alternative components maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness acceptance. Ensure that the replacement part supports the same straddle mount installation method and thermal ratings.
