305-024-556-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-024-556-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 24 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current, this header utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment. It accommodates card thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accepts non-specified card edges
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance
• Panel mount style with vertical installation angle
• Compatible with between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computing hardware peripheral connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact physical dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements if applicable. Confirm that the target PCB layout supports the required 3.96 mm pitch and panel mounting constraints before finalizing procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 24-position connection is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention with standard card edge profiles. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C range and that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit load requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics and mechanical interfaces. The 305 series is widely used in modular electronic systems requiring reliable high-density connections with standardized form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-022-556-568 or 305-026-556-568 for different position counts. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and panel mount style to preserve mechanical fit.
