305-034-556-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-034-556-502 is a dual-edge female card edge connector with 34 positions arranged in two rows of 17. It features a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and utilizes gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. Designed for panel mounting, the unit accommodates board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, ensuring durability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration supports non-specified double-sided circuit boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides structural integrity and thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane integration
• Test and measurement instrument module attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and flange dimensions. Ensure the target PCB design matches the specified 0.156-inch pitch and allowable board thickness range. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for double-sided card edge applications. The 34-position count suits moderate-density interconnect needs. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints and that the operating temperature range meets environmental requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-034 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 34 connection points with a standardized 0.156-inch spacing, fitting within the broader family of high-reliability interconnect solutions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or mounting variations. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if they strictly match the 0.156-inch pitch, dual-edge female configuration, and panel mount specifications.
