305-036-555-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-555-202 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 36 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing with a 0.140-inch (3.56 mm) row spacing. Designed for PCB mounting, it accepts boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches
• Features a low-profile insulator body construction
• Utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Electronic assembly requiring dual-edge card interface
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard board thickness
• General-purpose interconnect applications within specified thermal range

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 305-036-555-202 to confirm exact dimensional tolerances and material certifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Cross-reference the manufacturer's ordering guide to validate that the suffix codes align with the required termination style and housing color specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for 36-position interfaces with 0.156-inch spacing. It is suitable for applications demanding a 5 A current rating and operation between -40°C and +105°C. Choose this part over single-row variants if dual-sided connectivity is necessary. Confirm that the target PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch design specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by thermoplastic polyester housings and copper alloy contacts. The 305 series generally supports various position counts and spacing options, providing a standardized solution for vertical PCB mounting in electronic assemblies requiring robust interconnectivity.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 36-position dual-row configurations and 0.156-inch spacing, such as the 305-036-520-202, provided the termination style and housing color requirements match the system design constraints.
