305-034-521-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-521-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 34 positions arranged in a dual configuration with a 0.156 inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It supports solder pin termination and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm).

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment.
• Provides a continuous current rating of 5A with high dielectric strength.
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust signal interconnection.
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces.
• Automotive electronics modules needing reliable vertical mounting solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and insulation material specifications. Confirm that the target application environment remains within the operational temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Cross-reference the mechanical drawing for precise panel cutout dimensions to guarantee proper fit during installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 34 positions is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the host PCB thickness matches the specified 1.57 mm tolerance. Consider the 305 series family for consistent mechanical footprint across varying position counts if system expansion is planned.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronic systems. The series offers various position counts while maintaining uniform spacing and mounting characteristics. These connectors are engineered for durability and reliable electrical performance in demanding industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or alternative termination styles. Verify mechanical compatibility before replacing with generic equivalents, as flange dimensions and row spacing may vary significantly across manufacturers.
