305-036-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-555-212 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 36 positions arranged in two rows of 18 contacts each. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The component employs a solder lug termination method with gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Designed for panel mounting, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides a continuous current rating of 5A with high dielectric strength
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
