305-030-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-555-201 is a dual female card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for board-to-board or backplane interconnections. It features 30 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts and accepts PCBs with thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. It supports straddle mount installation and includes flange features for secure panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row configuration providing 30 contact positions for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated half-bellows contacts ensure reliable electrical connection and corrosion resistance
• Straddle mount design allows for secure board edge attachment without through-hole soldering of the main body
• Integrated flanges facilitate panel mounting with standardized hole dimensions

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust backplane connections
• Medical equipment utilizing EDAC medical interconnect solutions
• Agricultural technology applications needing durable connectors in harsh environments
• General-purpose standard card edge connector implementations

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm mechanical variations such as flange type or plating thickness. Confirm RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements. Check manufacturer lead times as production cycles may vary. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 30-position interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the specified range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Consider the straddle mount style for appropriate mechanical retention. Evaluate thermal operating limits against system environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-030-555-201 specifically denotes a 30-position dual female variant. It is distinct from single-row or different pitch alternatives within the broader product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly confirmed in public documentation. Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for similar pitch and position counts. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings before considering alternative manufacturers.
