305-028-520-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-028-520-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 28 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body reduces overall height
• Panel mount style supports vertical installation configurations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details prior to procurement. Confirm that the specific manufacturing date code aligns with project requirements. Ensure that the supplier provides official documentation confirming the part number authenticity. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or shipping limitations applicable to the target location. Validate that the packaging quantity matches the intended assembly volume.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 28 positions is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the acceptable range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Verify that the operating temperature environment remains between -40°C and +105°C. Confirm that the panel mounting style fits the mechanical enclosure constraints. Compare against similar series parts if different row counts or spacing are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and compatibility with standard PCB thicknesses. It serves as a reliable interconnect solution for high-density applications requiring durable electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 28-position count. Verify mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns before substitution. Ensure equivalent current ratings and insulation resistance values. Confirm that alternative parts maintain the same dual-edge female contact configuration.
