305-030-521-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-521-202 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 30 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a maximum operating temperature of +105°C and a minimum of -40°C. It has a rated current of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material, while contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating. Termination is achieved via solder pins through-hole mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating and termination style. Ensure the selected variant matches the required board thickness and mounting orientation. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official distributor catalogs to avoid counterfeit components. Validate that the thermal rating meets the operational environment requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs within the system. Evaluate the panel mount style against available chassis space. Verify compatibility with the mating card's edge guide and thickness specifications. Assess the operating temperature range against potential environmental extremes.

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 to suit different circuit density requirements. EDAC designs these connectors for robust performance in industrial and commercial environments.
