305-034-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-555-212 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 two rows with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator body. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The unit is intended for PCBs with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and 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 retention
• Features low-profile insulator body construction for compact assembly
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms voltage rating

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control module signal routing
• Telecommunications hardware backplane connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required flange and termination style, as variations exist within the 305 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure the ordering part number aligns exactly with the dual-edge female configuration and specified pin count to avoid mechanical incompatibility during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided card edge applications. The 0.156-inch pitch suits standard industrial PCB layouts. Consider the 5A current rating and 1800VACrms isolation for robust electrical performance. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the acceptable tolerance for reliable contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 305-034-555-212 specifically denotes a 34-position dual-edge variant. It shares design characteristics with other models in the family, such as consistent pitch and material specifications, while differing in terminal count and physical dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Cross-referencing requires matching pitch, row count, and mounting style. Consult EDAC Inc. directly for validated equivalent components or updated series replacements.
