305-026-555-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-026-555-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 26 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination for secure electrical connection. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, accommodating PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for precise alignment
• Dual-edge female contact design ensures reliable signal transmission
• Semi-corrugated contact type provides enhanced mechanical retention

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnect solutions
• Medical equipment needing high-dielectric strength connectors
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing standard card edge interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 555-568 corresponds to the required gold plating thickness and housing color specifications. Confirm compatibility with polarizing key requirements if used in constrained spaces. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to guarantee proper mating force and electrical continuity during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 26-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for applications demanding a 5 A current rating and high voltage isolation up to 1800 VACrms. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder pin termination method for integration into rigid structural enclosures.
