305-034-555-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-034-555-258 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 34 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination style. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it supports panel mounting at a vertical angle.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Designed for dual-edge female connection with half-bellows contact type

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Dual-edge card insertion applications
• High-density circuit board connections requiring polarizing key compatibility

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact plating thickness and insulation color specifications. Ensure the target application requires the 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design constraints. Cross-reference the 305 series datasheet for precise mating force requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row header with 3.96 mm pitch is required for 1.57 mm thick PCBs. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power distribution needs. Verify compatibility with existing polarizing key designs if signal integrity or physical locking is critical. Ensure the vertical mounting style fits the enclosure geometry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors designed for reliable high-density interconnections. The series offers various position counts and row configurations while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. These headers are engineered for durability in industrial and commercial environments requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 305-034-555-558 and 305-034-555-278. Verify that alternative suffixes match the required insulation color and plating specifications before substitution.
