305-036-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-555-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 36 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and utilizes a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 amps and a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy, featuring gold plating on the mating area and tin plating with nickel underplating on the solder tails.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required PCB thickness and termination type. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the target circuit board layout. Check regional availability as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the assembly environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to avoid substitution errors.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for 1.57 mm thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the trace routing density on the mating PCB. Consider the vertical mounting orientation for panel integration needs. The 5 amp current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the gold plating meets corrosion resistance requirements for the operating environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which specializes in high-density card edge solutions. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse interface requirements.
