305-034-520-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-520-568 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 34 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector supports a nominal board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it employs a solder pin termination type for panel mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Low profile insulator body construction
• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified card types

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring dual-edge card insertion
• Industrial control systems utilizing polarized card edge interfaces
• Communication equipment housing standardized circuit modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm that the required polarizing key style matches the connector's acceptance criteria before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage for electrical safety margins. Verify that the low-profile design fits within the available vertical clearance constraints of the enclosure.

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 styles while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing. The 305-034 variant specifically provides a 34-position interface suitable for moderate-density interconnect requirements in rugged environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 34-position count. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal configurations match the existing footprint. Ensure equivalent electrical ratings and polarizing key compatibility are maintained during substitution.
