305-036-520-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-520-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 36 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder pin termination type. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The unit supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Provides high insulation resistance rated at 5 GOhms

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring vertical card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB thicknesses
• Communication equipment needing reliable dual-row signal connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct plating thickness and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target application environment remains within the stated operational temperature limits of -40°C to +105°C. Ensure compatibility with the required 1.57 mm PCB thickness before procurement. Cross-reference the 5 A current rating with actual load requirements to prevent thermal issues during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount interface is required for double-sided card edge boards. The 3.96 mm pitch distinguishes it from finer-pitch alternatives like the 391 series. Consider the gold plating for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Verify that the 36-position count matches the design requirements, as other positions are available within the same 305 series family.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and ability to accommodate polarizing keys. It serves as a header component for connecting edgeboard modules to backplanes or chassis-mounted receptacles. The design emphasizes mechanical stability and electrical reliability for industrial-grade applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variations such as 305-040-520-268 or 305-038-520-502, which share identical mounting styles and electrical characteristics but differ in position count.
