305-030-520-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-520-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 30 positions and a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A. The connector accepts PCB thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems
• Power supply units
• Storage devices
• Navigational equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '578' against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm housing color and flange characteristics. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating supports moderate power distribution needs. The vertical orientation simplifies board-to-panel integration. Consider the 30-position count for I/O density requirements. Verify compatibility with existing polarizing key systems if used in high-reliability environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for industrial environments. Similar models in the series vary by position count, pitch, and mounting style. The 305 series generally offers high durability and consistent electrical performance across various configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 30 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-030-520-502 or 305-030-520-202, provided the housing color and flange details match the application requirements.
