305-036-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-036-500-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 36 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and wire wrap termination. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms. The insulator body is green thermoplastic polyester, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
