305-026-520-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-520-258 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 26 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Termination is achieved via solder pins, ensuring reliable electrical connections in vertical mounting orientations.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board interface
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Compatible with 1.57 mm nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm pin count and termination type match project requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row interface with 3.96 mm spacing is required for vertical panel mounting. Consider the 26-position capacity relative to signal routing needs. Evaluate the gold plating against environmental exposure conditions. Compare against single-row alternatives if space constraints or simplified wiring are priorities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard PCB thicknesses commonly used in industrial electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include models with identical spacing but different position counts, such as 305-038-520-502. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before cross-referencing with other manufacturers' offerings.
