305-026-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-555-212 is a standard card edge connector header designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features 26 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is green thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration providing 26 connection positions
• Vertical mounting style suitable for panel installation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body design

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring board-to-board connectivity
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Telecommunications hardware modules
• Computing and data storage subsystems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and termination type. Confirm that the dual-row header matches the target card edge geometry. Check RoHS compliance status against project requirements. Ensure the panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26-position dual-row interface is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible mating card dimensions. Gold plating is necessary for environments demanding corrosion resistance. Verify that the vertical panel mount style fits within the available chassis depth and alignment tolerances.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305-026-555-212 specifically addresses needs for robust, high-current connections in industrial settings using a proven dual-row architecture.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers 305-026-555-201 and 305-026-555-203. These alternatives share the same 26-position count and 3.96 mm pitch but may differ in insulator color or specific manufacturing revisions. Verify mechanical fit before substitution.
