305-030-500-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-500-512 is a standard card edge connector header from the 305 series. It features 30 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch and supports a 1.57 mm board thickness. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it employs a dual female contact configuration.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact configuration for card edge insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing material for insulation
• Vertical panel mount orientation for secure assembly

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic module connections
• Medical device signal routing
• General-purpose printed circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm compatibility. Ensure that the receiving PCB meets the required 1.57 mm thickness specification. Confirm that the application environment remains within the operational temperature range of -40 C to +105 C. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a concern for the project requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30-position vertical interface is required. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the mating card. Verify that the 5 A current rating per contact aligns with the electrical load. Consider the thermoplastic polyester housing properties for environmental resistance. Ensure the panel mount style fits the mechanical 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 while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. The 305-030-500-512 variant specifically provides a dual-row female configuration suitable for high-density vertical mounting applications in rugged environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with matching 30 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance. Ensure replacement components offer identical gold plating and copper alloy contact materials for equivalent performance.
