305-032-500-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-500-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female applications. It features 32 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts and gold plating, it ensures reliable signal transmission. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Low-profile insulator body design for space efficiency
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment board connections
• Automotive electronics modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact type, plating thickness, and mounting style match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required PCB thickness and panel mounting specifications for proper integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 32 positions and 3.96 mm spacing is required. Consider the 0.062 inch board thickness compatibility and vertical panel mount orientation. Evaluate the gold plating and copper alloy construction for long-term reliability in high-vibration or corrosive environments compared to alternative materials.

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 options. The 305-032-500-507 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge female connections with a fixed 32-position layout. It is engineered for panel installation, distinguishing it from PCB-mounted variants within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 32-position and 3.96 mm pitch specifications but different mounting or plating options. Cross-referencing mechanical drawings is essential to ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and board thicknesses before substitution.
