305-032-555-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-555-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 32 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts PCB thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. It employs a solder termination method and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Solder lug termination style for secure PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and flange specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range prior to integration. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest datasheet documentation to meet regulatory requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical or panel-mountable dual-edge connector is required for high-density signal routing. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while providing robust mechanical stability. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational limits and does not exceed the 5 A current rating per contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for durability in harsh environments. The series offers various position counts and termination options, supporting both single and double-sided board connections. The 305-032 variant specifically addresses medium-density interconnect needs with standardized dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 32-position configurations and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-032-500-204 or 305-032-520-502, provided the termination style and flange characteristics align with the design.
