305-032-521-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-032-521-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount and through-hole installation. It features 32 positions arranged in a dual row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a half-beehive termination type for solder pin end connections. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester insulation. It supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration with half-beehinge contact design for secure card engagement
• Panel mount style with flush flange featuring M3 threaded inserts and top opening
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable electrical performance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation housing rated for high-temperature environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Automotive electronics panels needing durable signal connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure compatibility with required flange features and termination styles. Confirm that the intended PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical retention. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure that the gold plating thickness meets the application's wear requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, panel-mount card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The M3 threaded insert flange provides secure mounting stability for heavy-duty applications. Consider the half-beehive contact geometry for reliable mating cycles. Verify that the operating temperature range up to 105°C aligns with the system's thermal profile. Ensure the solder pin termination method matches the PCB fabrication capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series offers various position counts and mounting options to accommodate different board sizes and structural needs. The 305 series is known for its durability and consistent electrical performance in demanding industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 32-position dual-row configurations and identical 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that any replacement maintains the same panel mount style and M3 flange threading. Cross-reference with similar products from other manufacturers only if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings are fully compatible.
