305-036-500-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-036-500-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 36 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material. This connector utilizes solder eyelet termination and accepts between-contact or in-contact polarizing keys. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and provides an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row card edge design accommodating polarizing keys
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic housing suitable for high-temperature environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnects
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact finish, housing color, and mounting style. Confirm that the required polarizing key type matches the connector's acceptance specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the board thickness specification aligns with the connector's mechanical constraints before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. The 5 A current rating and gold contact finish make it suitable for general-purpose industrial signals. Consider the availability of compatible polarizing keys if positional locking is necessary. Verify that the thermal operating range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application zone.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations for card edge connections. The series provides options for different row counts, pitches, and mounting styles. The 305-036-500-508 specifically addresses needs for 36-position dual-row connectors with panel-mount capabilities and robust electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 Series parts with identical 36-position dual-row specifications and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-036-520-508, provided the mounting style and termination type match the design requirements.
