305-030-556-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-030-556-501 is a 30-position female card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCBs. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, housed in black thermoplastic polyester insulation. Rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms dielectric strength, it operates within -40°C to +105°C. This panel-mount receptacle utilizes solder termination and supports polarizing keys.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts both between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides reliable signal communication and power connection via gold-plated half-bellows contacts
• Features high-temperature thermoplastic polyester insulation for stable performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Motherboard to daughterboard interconnections
• Extender card connections
• Panel-mounted signal routing systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct flange diameter and mounting configuration. Confirm that the required polarizing key type matches the connector's acceptance specifications. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are mandated for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel installation. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070-inch range. Consider the need for polarizing keys if mechanical alignment is critical for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides quality-engineered solutions for power and signal communication. The series offers various contact terminations, mounting options, and insulator types to support diverse industrial and commercial electronic interconnect requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series variants such as 305-030-521-504 or 305-030-556-502 only if flange dimensions and mounting styles are identical. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and dual-edge female configuration.
