305-024-556-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 24 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing 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). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) thickness, utilizing a semi-crimped termination style for solder pin attachment. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C.
