305-024-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 24 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes female half-bead contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. It employs a solder pin termination method and includes flanges with M3 threaded inserts for secure panel mounting. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, ensuring stability within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Panel mount design with M3 threaded insert flanges
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation for thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm flange type and contact finish variations. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range before integration. Ensure compatibility with M3 threaded fasteners for the mounting hardware. Cross-reference the RoHS status with current regulatory requirements for your target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with robust mechanical fixation is required. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates higher density connections compared to smaller pitches while maintaining ease of assembly. The threaded flange option provides superior vibration resistance compared to snap-in variants. Consider the green color coding if visual identification of connector rows is necessary for maintenance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series offers various position counts and mounting options to suit different form factors. The 305 series is characterized by its durable construction and consistent electrical performance across high-volume industrial deployments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series cross-reference list for direct substitutes. Verify that alternative parts match the 3.96 mm pitch, 24-position count, and M3 flange specifications. Ensure equivalent current ratings and temperature ranges are maintained.
