305-030-556-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-030-556-507 is a standard card edge connector header from the 305 series. It features 30 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch and double-row configuration. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current, while the thermoplastic insulator supports operation between -40 C and +105 C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact card edge designs
• Provides multiple card guide solutions for secure insertion
• Utilizes high-temperature thermoplastic insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact termination style and plating specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness tolerance of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the target enclosure assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 3.96 mm pitch interface is required for heavy-duty applications. The double-row layout maximizes signal density within a limited footprint. Consider the high-temperature rating if the operating environment exceeds standard commercial limits. Verify compatibility with existing card edge guides before finalizing the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is engineered for reliability in demanding environments, offering various row counts and termination options. The 305 series distinguishes itself through durable construction and flexible mounting configurations suitable for both prototype and production runs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers sharing the same 30-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and double-row format. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly before substitution.
