305-030-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-520-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 30 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for vertical panel mounting, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current at maximum operating temperatures of +105°C, it provides an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms within a -40°C to +105°C range.

• Vertical panel mount style with solder lug termination for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination type, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical enclosure requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel integration. The 30-position layout supports moderate density applications. Confirm that the 5 A current rating and 105°C thermal limit meet the operational environment constraints. Verify that the solder lug termination method matches the available assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which defines a family of standard card edge connectors characterized by a 3.96 mm contact spacing. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 305-030-520-208 specifically represents the 30-position variant designed for dual-edge board insertion with vertical panel mounting capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305/315/355 Series Ordering Guide for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-reference alternative models based on identical 3.96 mm pitch, 30-position count, and dual-row vertical panel mounting requirements.
