305-030-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 30 positions in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable electrical performance. The unit utilizes solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for double-sided card edge insertion
• Low-profile insulator body construction for compact assembly requirements
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation cards
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact physical dimensions and contact specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability and authenticity before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 30-position count suits moderate-density interconnect needs. Verify that the host system supports the specified 1.57 mm board thickness. Consider the vertical mounting angle for spatial constraints within the enclosure design relative to adjacent components.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing. These connectors are engineered for high-reliability applications in harsh environments, utilizing thermoplastic insulators and durable metal contacts to withstand mechanical stress and thermal cycling.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or row configurations. Verify that any alternative part maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance to ensure mechanical fit.
