305-024-556-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-202 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board applications. It features 24 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm) and half-waffle contact types. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, and it includes flanges for panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the end product. Cross-reference the part number with official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Consider the 24-position layout for circuit density needs. Evaluate the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C against environmental conditions. Verify that the half-waffle contact type meets the mechanical retention requirements for the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations of card edge connectors. The series is known for robust construction and reliable connectivity in demanding environments. Similar parts in the series vary by position count and specific mounting features, allowing for scalable design solutions across different electronic products.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the EDAC 305 series that match the 24-position count and 0.156-inch pitch. Ensure any replacement maintains the same dual-edge female interface and gold plating specifications. Verify dimensional compatibility, particularly regarding flange diameter and overall height, to fit existing enclosures.
