305-026-520-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-520-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 26 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current and employs a solder pin termination type. Constructed with a thermoplastic polyester insulator body, it supports vertical panel mounting configurations.
