305-028-520-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-028-520-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 48 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Rated for 5 A current, it employs solder pin termination and is housed in a green body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual edge female contact configuration for secure card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount vertical installation style for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument module mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific position count against datasheet specifications, as conflicting data exists between 28 and 48 positions. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the target PCB design requirements. Ensure the manufacturer source is EDAC Inc. to guarantee component authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 5 A current rating and gold plating make it suitable for general industrial signals. Verify compatibility with the target card thickness of 1.57 mm before integration into the assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options, including 2.54 mm variants like the 345 series. The 305 series specifically targets higher-density or specific pitch requirements compared to standard 0.100 inch pitch connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for different position counts. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model configuration.
