305-036-555-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-555-501 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 36 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and a 0.140-inch (3.56mm) row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 amps current. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with half-beam contacts for secure mating
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated contact surfaces for reliable conductivity
• Through-hole termination style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-speed data handling systems
• FPGA-based control modules
• Industrial electronic interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct plating and mounting variations. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 0.062-inch nominal specification. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Ensure the supplier provides official documentation matching the part number to avoid counterfeit components.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 3.96mm pitch is required for board-to-board or backplane connections. Consider the 5-amp current rating and thermal stability for high-performance applications. Evaluate the through-hole mounting requirement against available PCB space. Compare alternative series if single-row or different pitch configurations better suit the layout constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and position counts. The series is characterized by its 3.96mm pitch and robust construction suitable for demanding environments. Similar parts in the series include variants with different pin counts and mounting styles, such as panel mount or adapter plate configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical 36-position dual-row specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Cross-reference with distributor databases for equivalent parts from other manufacturers ensuring matching pitch and contact configuration.
