305-034-500-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-034-500-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 34 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accommodates PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and offers a 5 A current rating. It supports solder lug termination 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 alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester
• Designed for dual-edge card applications with vertical panel installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized card edge connections
• Panel-mounted electronic modules needing robust signal integrity
• Equipment utilizing standardized 1.57 mm thick circuit boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required flange and termination configuration. Confirm compatibility with polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary. Ensure the PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification before procurement. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for the target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel mount solution is required for dual-edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard connectors. Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. Consider the availability of polarizing keys for enhanced assembly accuracy.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-034 variant specifically addresses needs for 34-position interfaces. It shares common design traits with other parts in the family, such as the specified pitch and material composition.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must maintain the 3.96 mm pitch and 34-position count. Verify that alternative components support the same 1.57 mm board thickness. Ensure replacement parts offer compatible vertical panel mounting capabilities.
