305-032-520-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-520-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 32 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact configuration for secure card edge insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination for stable installation
• Thermoplastic insulation housing provides structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including all suffix digits against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating, housing color, and flange specifications. Confirm that the required board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 32-position dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature limits. Verify that the PCB edge card thickness matches the connector's acceptance range to prevent mechanical stress or poor contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic construction and standardized pitch, making it suitable for general-purpose card edge applications requiring durable panel-mounted connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-032-520-202 or 305-032-500-204 for differences in housing color or specific flange configurations. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and 32-position count.
