305-026-555-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-555-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 26 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch across two rows. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports panel mounting with vertical orientation and accepts solder pin termination. The unit is rated for 5 A continuous current and withstands 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation providing high dielectric strength
• Panel mount design with vertical installation angle

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Embedded computing module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific lot traceability requirements prior to purchase. Ensure storage conditions maintain contact integrity. Validate that the received part matches the exact ordering code to avoid functional mismatches in dual-edge implementations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 26-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style suits chassis integration where space efficiency is critical. The 5 A rating and 1800 VACrms capability support standard industrial signal and power distribution needs within the specified temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch architecture. The 305-026 variant specifically addresses applications requiring moderate density dual-edge connectivity with robust mechanical and electrical specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 26-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row female gender, and panel mount vertical orientation. Verify that alternative parts maintain identical contact plating, insulation material properties, and current/voltage ratings to ensure interchangeability without redesign.
