305-034-500-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-500-258 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel-mounted vertical installation. It features a dual-row configuration with 34 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination for secure electrical connections. It accommodates PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit provides a continuous current rating of 5 A and supports 1800 VACrms insulation voltage.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating, housing material, and mounting style compatibility. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal requirement for proper mechanical retention and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, vertically mounted card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the system design allows for the acceptance of polarizing keys if additional board retention is necessary.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and position counts. The series is characterized by its 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row architecture, providing flexibility for different board densities while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical standards across the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for alternative part numbers with differing position counts or mounting styles. Direct substitutes must match the 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and panel-mount vertical orientation to maintain mechanical fit.
