305-034-555-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-555-512 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual female termination with 34 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator body. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it supports vertical panel mount installation with straddle mount board edge termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features a low-profile insulator body design
• Provides dual female termination for expansion cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Connecting printed circuit boards to main boards
• Expansion card interconnection to backplanes
• Card extender applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the system design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status and environmental operating temperature ranges (-40°C to +105°C) against application constraints before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Verify that the mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints, as this model is designed for panel mount and straddle mount configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent electrical ratings and mechanical interfaces. The 305 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics for reliable board-to-board or board-to-backplane connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include part numbers such as 305-034-555-558 and 305-034-520-512. Verify that alternative parts match the 34-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual female termination characteristics before substitution.
