305-036-500-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-036-500-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 36 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs a panel mount installation style with vertical orientation. Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The thermoplastic polyester housing ensures reliable performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual female configuration designed for robust edgeboard connections
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides stable electrical isolation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-reliability interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating card edge thicknesses and polarizing key requirements before procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm compliance with current RoHS directives and environmental standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row, 36-position interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard industrial board layouts. Verify that the vertical mounting style aligns with chassis constraints. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets system power distribution needs without derating.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic materials and gold-plated contacts. It serves as a critical interface solution for connecting flexible or rigid circuit boards in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the same 305 series family that share identical pin counts, pitch, and mounting styles. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly.
