305-034-520-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-520-201 is a standard card edge connector featuring 34 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a row pitch of 3.56 mm (0.140 inch). Designed for non-specified dual-edge cards, the connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. This component supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodates standard PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required position count and row configuration before ordering. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives if environmental regulations apply to the end product. Ensure the receiving facility has appropriate handling procedures for sensitive electronic components. Cross-reference the datasheet specifications against the target application's mechanical constraints. Validate supplier authorization to guarantee genuine manufacturer products.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge interface with 34 positions and 3.96 mm spacing is required. Consider the 5 A current rating and wide operating temperature range for demanding environments. Evaluate the low-profile housing dimensions against available panel space. Compare alternative series if different board thicknesses or contact materials are necessary. Ensure the solder pin termination method aligns with the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a family of standard card edge connectors designed for versatile industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to suit diverse system architectures. Consistent dimensional standards across the series allow for modular design approaches. The 305 Series emphasizes durability and precise alignment for secure board-to-board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 Series variants with identical 34-position dual-edge configurations and matching 3.96 mm spacing. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 1.57 mm board thickness acceptance and gold contact plating. Ensure the alternative part retains the 5 A current rating and compatible operating temperature range.
