305-036-556-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-556-202 is a dual-row card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features 36 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with a gold plating finish, ensuring reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current, this receptacle utilizes a solder termination method and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration supporting standard double-sided card edge boards
• Vertical panel mount design with flange features for secure installation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's ordering guide to ensure correct contact length, insulation material, and flange specifications. Confirm that the target PCB stack-up aligns with the specified board thickness tolerance. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in restricted substance environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, vertically mounted interface is required for rugged industrial environments. Ensure the mating card edge geometry matches the connector's acceptance criteria. Consider thermal management needs given the 5 A rating and plastic housing material properties during high-load operations.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides standardized solutions for board-to-board and board-to-panel connections. The series offers various position counts and termination styles to accommodate diverse electronic assembly requirements while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions across the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 305 series base code but differing only in suffix parameters such as contact finish or flange type. Verify mechanical compatibility before substituting with generic equivalents.
