305-032-555-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-555-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting with vertical orientation. It features 32 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, providing a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The unit supports a voltage rating of 1800 VACrms and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Utilizes solder lug termination for reliable panel-mounted connections

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation needing high-voltage isolation capabilities

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact mechanical variations, as ordering codes may denote differences in flange characteristics or packaging. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility aligns with system design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 32 positions is required for panel installation. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified acceptance range and that the application environment remains within the defined operational temperature limits for long-term reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options, maintaining consistent contact spacing and termination styles across the family to facilitate modular design and interchangeability in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-018-555-508 or 305-014-521-202 if different position counts are needed. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and panel mounting requirements.
