305-036-520-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-520-258 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 36 positions arranged in two rows. The contact spacing is 0.156 inches (3.96 mm), and the row spacing measures 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The housing accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, and termination is achieved via solder pins. The component has a current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual edge female connector design accommodating standard PCB thickness
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Low profile insulator body construction
• Solder pin termination for secure mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 36-position dual-edge specification. Confirm compatibility with 0.062-inch thick PCBs and 3.96 mm pitch requirements. Ensure the application environment supports the 5 A current rating and +105 C maximum operating temperature. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a low-profile, panel-mount solution is required for dual-edge card connections. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability. Gold plating provides corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. Verify that the housing material, thermoplastic, meets thermal and chemical resistance needs for the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse interconnection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its low-profile design and durable construction suitable for demanding industrial environments. It serves as a reliable interface between backplanes and daughter cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 36-position dual-edge specifications. Verify that alternative components maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 0.062 inch board thickness acceptance. Ensure replacement headers retain gold-plated contacts and solder pin termination methods for equivalent performance.
