305-030-521-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-521-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel-mounted vertical installation. It features a dual-row configuration with 30 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder pin termination. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for secure card edge interface
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mounting style with solder pin termination
• Thermoplastic insulator housing provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design requirements of the enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. The 30-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meets environmental conditions. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its robust construction and suitability for harsh environments. The 305-030-521-208 specifically denotes the 30-position variant with dual-row female contacts and green insulator color.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 Series parts for different position counts or mounting styles. Verify that substitute connectors maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
