305-036-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-036-500-207 is a standard card edge connector featuring 36 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for panel mounting, this vertical header accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, the unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is made of thermoplastic material, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Features a low-profile insulator body for compact integration
• Supports flush mount installation with top opening and threaded inserts

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized board thicknesses
• Test and measurement instrumentation needing high-reliability connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility before procurement. Confirm that the panel mounting style with threaded inserts aligns with the mechanical design constraints. Ensure the environmental operating range of -40°C to +105°C meets the system requirements. Cross-reference the 36-position dual-row layout against the PCB footprint specifications to guarantee proper electrical connectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The choice is appropriate for designs necessitating a 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability. Consider this part if the system architecture supports flush mounting with top openings and M3 threaded inserts. Verify compatibility with polarizing keys if mechanical locking features are essential for the assembly process.
