305-034-520-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-520-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 34 positions in a dual configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features low profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Utilizes solder pin termination type for robust PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical interconnect
• Systems utilizing polarizing keys for board positioning
• Industrial control units operating within specified thermal ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required polarizing key compatibility and contact finish specifications. Confirm the nominal PCB thickness requirement aligns with your design constraints. Ensure the vertical panel mount style fits the enclosure layout. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official distributor catalogs to confirm availability status and RoHS compliance details before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 3.96 mm spacing is required for panel mounting. It is suitable for designs needing polarizing key integration and high insulation voltage ratings. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal limits during electrical planning. Verify that the solder pin termination method is compatible with the assembly process and PCB pad layout requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing and panel mount characteristics. These connectors are engineered for durability and reliable performance in industrial environments, supporting both single and dual edge configurations with standardized mechanical dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 34 positions and dual edge female contacts. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance. Verify identical polarizing key acceptance capabilities and vertical panel mount orientation for direct interchangeability.
