305-032-555-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-555-208 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mounting applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 32 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder lug termination type, ensuring reliable electrical connections. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, accommodating PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Designed for vertical panel mounting with solder lug termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized card edge interfaces
• Electronic equipment needing high dielectric strength connections
• Panel-mounted modular circuit board assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the required polarizing key type matches the connector's acceptance specifications. Check RoHS compliance status against project requirements before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 32-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications demanding a 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability. Choose this model for panel-mount installations where solder lug termination is preferred over surface mount methods.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic housing and reliable copper alloy contact system, widely used in industrial and commercial electronic interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for different position counts or termination styles. Verify mechanical dimensions and pinout compatibility before substituting with similar connectors from other manufacturers.
