305-032-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-555-507 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB mounting. It features 32 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm), accommodating a range from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 amps at the mating area, with tin-plated tails featuring nickel underplating. The unit employs a solder lug termination style and is housed in a green insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Low-profile insulator body design minimizes vertical space requirements
• Solder lug termination provides robust mechanical and electrical connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panel interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computer peripheral interface cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact finish and board thickness tolerance. Confirm that the supplier source is an authorized distributor to ensure component authenticity. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to the assembly. Ensure the procurement quantity aligns with project timelines as lead times may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge connector with 32 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm acceptance range. Verify that the 5 amp current rating meets the circuit load requirements. Consider the vertical panel mount style for integration into chassis designs requiring direct board insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 305-032-555-507 variant specifically addresses applications needing dual-edge connectivity with gold-plated contacts. It serves as a critical interface between flexible or rigid circuit boards and system infrastructure.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 32-position dual-edge specifications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB layouts before swapping. Generic equivalents must match the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance to ensure proper fit.
