305-036-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-500-501 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 36 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts non-specified dual-edge cards. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms insulation voltage. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, supporting board thicknesses of 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Dual-row configuration with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability and insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment with high-density board connections
• Test and measurement devices needing stable signal paths

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct contact plating, housing color, and mounting style. Confirm that the polarizing key requirements match the application design before procurement. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, through-hole card edge connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB card thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Verify that the 5A current rating and 1800VACrms insulation voltage meet the system electrical specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and row configurations. The series is characterized by its 3.96mm pitch and compatibility with standard dual-edge cards. It is designed for applications requiring durable, solder-pin termination and reliable performance in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series cross-reference guide for direct substitutes. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 36-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-row layout. Verify that any alternative maintains the through-hole mounting style and compatible polarizing key acceptance.
