305-036-521-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-521-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 36 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing. It supports solder pin termination and accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Panel-mount design with flange features including top-open holes and M3 threaded inserts for secure installation
• Dual-edge female contact type with semi-spring construction for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durability and low contact resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides mechanical stability and environmental protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Medical equipment assemblies where enclosure support limits connector movement
• Serviced industrial machinery needing durable card edge connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact flange and termination configurations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances to avoid assembly conflicts.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when panel mounting is required rather than PCB surface mount. The dual-row layout suits applications needing higher density within limited panel space. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch matches the existing card edge design. Consider the thermal rating if operating in high-temperature environments up to 105°C.

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 styles. The 305-036 variant specifically addresses mid-density requirements with a 36-position layout. It complements other EDAC solutions for medical and agricultural technology sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC 305-036-521-558 and 305-036-521-201. Verify identical pitch, position count, and mounting style before substitution. Ensure electrical ratings and material specifications match the original design requirements.
