305-030-521-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-521-578 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features a 30-position configuration with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and a 0.140-inch (3.56mm) row spacing. The connector supports PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it ensures reliable signal transmission. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic material, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body to minimize vertical space requirements
• Supports continuous current ratings up to 5A with high dielectric strength

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions requiring robust connectivity
• Agricultural technology equipment operating in harsh environments
• Industrial control systems utilizing dual-edge card boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating thickness and material specifications. Confirm that the target application requires dual-edge compatibility and the specified 0.156-inch pitch. Cross-reference the panel mount style with mechanical constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface is required with a 30-position count. Ensure the host PCB design accommodates the 0.062-inch nominal thickness specification. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meets the environmental demands of the intended deployment scenario.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various configurations for card edge applications. The series is known for accepting polarizing keys and providing reliable connections in industrial and medical sectors. This specific model represents a standard dual-edge variant within the broader product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and 30-position count. Ensure mechanical dimensions and mounting styles match the existing design constraints.
