305-036-520-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-520-578 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 36 positions in a dual configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mounting via solder pins, the unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Panel mount construction with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify exact specifications against the official product datasheet prior to integration. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Ensure compatibility with the required 3.96 mm pitch and panel mounting style for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 36-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets environmental demands. Consider the panel mount style and solder pin termination for assembly constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-036-520-578 specifically provides a dual-edge configuration with gold-plated contacts, distinguishing it from single-edge or non-gold variants within the broader product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Alternative part numbers may vary by position count or termination style while maintaining the same pitch and series characteristics.
