305-032-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-520-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 32 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for vertical panel mounting with threaded inserts. The connector accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current at an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures span from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for double-sided card edge connections
• Vertical panel mount design with flush mounting flange and top opening
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic insulation housing providing structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface modules
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic control unit interconnects
• Medical device internal circuit board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's ordering guide to confirm exact flange features and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration into regulated assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel installation. The threaded insert feature distinguishes it from non-threaded variants within the 305 series. Consider the 5 A current rating and temperature range for environmental suitability in industrial or automotive applications requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for high reliability in harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-032-520-208 specifically represents a 32-position variant with threaded panel mounting capabilities, differing from similar parts like the 305-032-500-207 which lacks threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-032-500-207 and 305-032-555-208, though these may differ in flange threading or termination type. Verify that alternative parts match the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration before substitution.
