305-032-555-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-555-202 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 32 positions arranged in a dual row configuration, utilizing a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, while the housing is made of thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required termination type and board thickness tolerance. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain contact integrity. Cross-reference pinout diagrams with target PCB layout to prevent misalignment during assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row interface is necessary for .062 inch thick substrates. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing moderate density without excessive board space consumption. Verify that the 5 A current rating aligns with system power distribution requirements. Consider the vertical mounting constraint for enclosure design compatibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in handling various board thicknesses and contact configurations. The 305 series is widely utilized in environments demanding durable electrical connections between rigid PCBs and mating headers or sockets.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include part numbers sharing identical pitch and position counts, such as variations in termination style like 305-032-500-203. Always verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substituting.
