305-026-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-555-507 is a standard card edge connector featuring 26 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for vertical panel mounting with a straddle mount style. The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 amps, it uses solder pin termination for secure electrical connections. This component serves as a card extender interface, providing robust mechanical stability and consistent performance in industrial applications requiring high-density connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm terminal plating and contact material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and mounting hole dimensions. Confirm that the 5 amp current rating aligns with the application's electrical requirements. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Validate RoHS compliance documentation if required for the project.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The straddle mount style is suitable for applications needing rigid panel attachment. Consider the gold plating for environments where oxidation resistance is critical. Ensure the 26-position count matches the circuit board trace layout. Verify that the vertical orientation fits within the enclosure constraints.

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 styles to accommodate different board densities. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and reliable performance in demanding environments. Similar models in the series may differ in position count or termination type but share the same fundamental design philosophy.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 26-position count, dual row configuration, and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that any replacement part supports the same straddle mount style and vertical orientation. Ensure the contact material and plating meet the original specifications for conductivity and durability.
