305-036-520-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-520-568 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 36 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type for secure electrical connection. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it offers a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +105°C, housed in thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for enhanced alignment and security
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Supports vertical panel mounting with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized connector pitches
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating, housing color, and flange specifications. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the application design. Check manufacturer lead times as distribution availability may vary. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary voltage and current ratings for the intended circuit environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row 36-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder pin termination for assembly constraints. Evaluate the need for polarizing key acceptance if mechanical locking is necessary. Verify that the thermoplastic housing and temperature range suit the operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics. The 305 series is designed for high-reliability applications requiring durable connections between circuit boards and backplanes or chassis-mounted headers.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts. Verify that any substitute maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration. Ensure mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns are compatible with existing panel designs.
