305-032-556-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-032-556-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 32 positions 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, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts nominal PCB thickness of 1.57 mm for standard board compatibility
• Features low profile insulator body for compact panel integration
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical interconnection
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard thickness PCBs
• Embedded hardware interfaces needing robust card edge connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct contact configuration and termination style. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if applicable to the target assembly environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications where standard board thicknesses are utilized. Consider the 5 A current rating for power or signal lines within these limits. Verify that the thermal range meets the operational environment constraints before finalizing the design integration.
