305-030-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-520-202 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for vertical panel and board mount applications. It features 30 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch, accommodating PCBs with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The connector utilizes female half-beam contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Constructed with a green thermoplastic polyester insulator, it supports solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration ensures secure mating with specified card edge thicknesses
• Gold-plated half-beam contacts provide durable electrical connectivity and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation offers stable mechanical support and thermal performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Automotive electronic module mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with required flange characteristics and termination styles. Confirm that the procurement source provides original manufacturer documentation to validate RoHS compliance and material specifications. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and lead times before finalizing purchase orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for vertical mounting. Ensure the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070-inch range for proper contact engagement. Consider the operating temperature range and gold plating requirements for environmental durability in industrial or automotive settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction using thermoplastic polyester insulators and copper alloy contacts. The 305 Series is widely utilized in applications requiring reliable high-density interconnections between rigid boards and card edges.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series cross-reference data for alternative part numbers with identical pitch and position counts but different flange or termination options. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
