305-030-521-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-521-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 30 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body. Rated for 5 A current at +105°C maximum operating temperature, it supports PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The unit employs solder pin termination and panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Accepts nominal 1.57 mm thick printed circuit boards within specified tolerance range
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Medical interconnect solutions demanding durable connections
• Agricultural technology equipment needing harsh environment resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, color, and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to validate authenticity and supply chain integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 30 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating and +105°C thermal limit for operational environments. Verify that the target PCB fits within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm thickness range. Evaluate panel mount requirements against available flange options in the 305 series catalog.
