305-032-520-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-520-203 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 32 positions arranged in two rows. The component utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Termination is achieved via solder pins, supporting through-hole installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female card edge interface for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation
• Solder pin termination for robust PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and insulation material. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and mounting constraints before procurement. Cross-reference the full part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and lead times, as stock levels may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row, 32-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Confirm that the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and that the PCB design allows for panel mounting. Verify that the gold contact finish meets the electrical requirements for the intended signal integrity and cycle life expectations.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent contact spacing and mechanical profiles. The 305 series is widely used in modular electronic systems requiring reliable, high-density connections between carrier panels and plug-in circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical 32-position layouts and 3.96 mm spacing, such as 305-032-521-203 or 305-032-500-203, provided the termination type matches the assembly process. Ensure any replacement maintains the same panel mount style and contact material specifications.
