305-036-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-555-504 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel and through-hole mounting. It features 36 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold plating thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C. It accepts board thicknesses from 0.054 to 0.070 inches.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides a continuous current rating of 5A with high insulation resistance
• Features half-waffle spring contact type for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized edge connectors
• Test and measurement instruments needing polarizable connection points

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the design intent, as this series supports both between-contact and in-contact configurations. Cross-reference the RoHS3 compliance status with current regulatory requirements before final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with polarizing key capability is required. Ensure the PCB thickness falls within the 0.054 to 0.070 inch range for proper fit. Consider the 5A current rating and 1800VACrms dielectric strength for electrical safety margins. Verify that the 0.156-inch pitch aligns with the system's board layout 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 variant specifically provides 36 positions. It is manufactured by EDAC Inc., a provider of interconnect solutions. The product line emphasizes durability and precise mechanical alignment for industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or flange styles. No cross-manufacturer equivalents are verified in public documentation. Ensure any replacement maintains the 0.156-inch pitch and dual-edge female configuration.
