305-036-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-556-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, featuring 36 positions in a dual female configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The connector employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder pin termination type for secure mounting. Designed for panel installation at a vertical angle, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and supports a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for robust board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical performance
• Vertical panel mount design facilitates structured assembly integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 36-position dual-edge specification before procurement. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if operating in regulated environments. Ensure the vertical panel mount style aligns with the enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 36 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between contacts. Consider the vertical orientation for panel-mounted setups where space efficiency is critical. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the signal or power transmission needs of the specific circuit design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides standard card edge solutions. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic assembly requirements. The 305-036-556-207 variant specifically addresses needs for medium-density dual-edge connections with durable gold plating and standardized dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for alternative position counts. Verify dimensional compatibility with existing PCB layouts when substituting similar connectors from the same manufacturer family.
