305-032-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-556-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-row applications with 32 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts non-specified dual-edge cards. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic material in green color, suitable for panel mounting at a vertical angle.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 32 positions for high-density interconnects
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Vertical panel mount style with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized board interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing reliable signal paths
• Automotive electronics modules with specific form factor requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the system design, as this connector supports both between-contact and in-contact types. Confirm the thermal profile during soldering aligns with the component's maximum operating temperature of +105°C to prevent damage. Ensure the PCB thickness falls within the acceptable range for proper contact engagement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 3.96 mm pitch dual-row connector is required for vertical panel mounting. It is appropriate for applications demanding a 5 A current rating and high insulation resistance. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Compare against other series if different pitch sizes or single-row configurations are needed for space constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various card edge connectors with 3.96 mm pitch options. The series includes multiple position counts and mounting styles to accommodate diverse electronic design needs. These connectors are widely used in industries requiring durable and reliable interconnect solutions for printed circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the same 305 Series family that share the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration, such as 305-012-556-204 or 305-022-556-568, provided the position count matches the application requirements.
