305-024-556-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-024-556-268 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 24 positions arranged 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 (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge card connections
• Low profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester
• Vertical orientation with panel mount installation style
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Embedded computing module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to confirm exact pin count and termination type. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material specifications directly with the supplier prior to purchase. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness and mounting offset for your specific assembly design.

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 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance and verify that the gold contact plating meets the environmental durability requirements for the intended operational temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

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 while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. These headers are designed for robust mechanical retention and electrical stability in demanding electronic assemblies requiring secure card-to-board connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include EDAC part numbers 305-020-556-202 and 305-024-556-268 variants with different suffixes. Verify that any replacement maintains identical 24-position count, dual-row layout, and 3.96 mm pitch specifications.
