305-030-556-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-556-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. 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 solder pin termination. It accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for non-specified card types
• Vertical panel mount installation style with solder pin termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct contact plating thickness and insulator material properties. Confirm that the target application supports the specified 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market region before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 30-position interface is required for vertical panel integration. Ensure the mating card adheres to the 0.062-inch nominal thickness specification to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch requirement for trace routing density on the host PCB during the initial layout phase.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their low-profile insulator bodies and high-density contact arrangements. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations to support diverse electronic assembly needs across multiple industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include the 305-030-556-201 and 305-030-556-202. Verify that alternative suffixes match the required contact plating specifications and insulator color coding to maintain functional equivalence in existing assemblies.
