305-024-556-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 24 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. It supports a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for non-specified dual-edge card insertion
• Low profile insulator body construction
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards
• General-purpose electronic assemblies needing dual-edge connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thicknesses and mounting configurations. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental requirements for your application. Cross-reference the pin count and row arrangement with the target PCB design to prevent mechanical mismatch during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the host PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal specification. Consider the operating temperature range and insulation material properties if the environment involves high thermal stress or specific chemical exposures.
