305-034-520-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-520-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 34 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and provides a continuous current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accepting non-specified PCB cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body for durability
• Panel mount vertical installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct pin count, plating thickness, and flange specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range. Check regional availability as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations if required for the target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 34-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing higher density without excessive height. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements. Consider the green color coding if visual identification is necessary within the assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its low-profile insulator body and compatibility with standard PCB thicknesses, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial and commercial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 305-034-520-508 or 305-034-520-568, provided the flange and termination details match the original design. Always cross-reference the full part number to ensure identical mechanical and electrical characteristics before substitution.
