305-028-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-028-500-568 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 28 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type for secure electrical connections. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical orientation, it supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary
