305-034-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-556-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 34 positions and a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). Rated at 5 A, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes a green thermoplastic insulator.
