305-034-500-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-500-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 34 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design with half-beam contact type for secure board retention
• Flush mount flange featuring top opening and threaded inserts for 4-40 fasteners
• Green thermoplastic insulator body providing electrical insulation and mechanical stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical card edge interface
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB dimensions
• Communication equipment housing modular circuit cards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange configurations and termination styles. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal acceptance range. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for dual-edge cards. Ensure the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature limits. Verify that the 4-40 threaded insert mounting style matches the chassis design constraints before finalizing the part selection.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, all sharing common electrical ratings and contact spacing specifications. The 305-034 variant specifically provides a 34-position interface suitable for moderate-density interconnect requirements in industrial and commercial hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or flange features. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if pinout, spacing, and mechanical dimensions are identical.
