305-030-521-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-030-521-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, manufactured by EDAC Inc. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 30 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. It employs solder lug termination for panel mounting and includes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. The unit is rated for 5 A continuous current and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures span from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Panel mount installation with vertical orientation
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces
• Agricultural technology hardware
• General-purpose electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating, flange dimensions, and termination style. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Check RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as regulatory requirements may vary by region and production batch. Ensure compatibility with required polarizing keys if isolation is necessary.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current, dual-row card edge interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits larger form-factor boards compared to finer pitches. Consider the 5 A rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Compare against other 305 series variants if different position counts or termination methods are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is designed for durable connections in demanding environments, including medical and agricultural sectors. Variants within the series differ primarily in position count, termination type, and flange characteristics. The 305-030-521-207 specifically provides a 30-position solution with solder lug termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical electrical and mechanical specifications but potentially different suffix codes for minor variations. Cross-referencing the full datasheet is essential before substitution. No alternative manufacturers are confirmed as direct replacements without verifying pinout and dimensional compatibility.
