305-034-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-520-501 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 34 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector accepts non-specified dual-edge cards with thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms insulation. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board retention
• Dual-row configuration with half-bulge contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability and electrical insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment board connections
• Automotive electronics modules
• Medical device internal circuitry

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and mating card thickness requirements prior to ordering. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Ensure the target PCB or card thickness falls within the specified 1.37mm to 1.78mm range. Consider the 5A current rating and high voltage insulation capabilities for appropriate load handling.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and row configurations. The series is designed for standard card edge applications, providing consistent performance across different position counts while maintaining uniform mechanical and electrical characteristics for system integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 34-position dual-row layouts. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 0.156-inch pitch and compatible polarizing key acceptance features for interchangeability.
