305-024-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-201 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 24 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for vertical panel mounting, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating standard PCB thicknesses
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and insulation ratings. Confirm that the target application supports the specified 1.57 mm board thickness constraint. Ensure panel mounting requirements align with the vertical installation style defined in the component specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel integration. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal limits for high-power applications. Verify compatibility with the specific PCB edge guide dimensions and hole patterns before finalizing the design.

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 series is characterized by its robust mechanical design and standardized dimensional tolerances suitable for general-purpose electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-024-556-202 for color differences. Verify mechanical fit with alternative manufacturers offering identical 3.96 mm pitch dual-row headers.
