305-026-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-500-207 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 26 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with flush mount flange featuring top opening and M3 threaded inserts
• Dual-edge contact interface compatible with between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring high conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing reliable high-density connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and flange configurations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB card thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the 26-position count and 3.96 mm pitch with system requirements. Confirm that the vertical mounting orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly constraints of the final enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mount installations. The 26-position layout suits applications needing moderate I/O density without excessive footprint usage. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry. Consider the gold plating for environments where oxidation resistance is critical for long-term connection stability.

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 termination options to accommodate different design specifications. The 305-026-500-207 variant specifically addresses needs for vertical mounting with threaded flange hardware, distinguishing it from surface-mount or unflanged alternatives within the broader product family.
