305-036-556-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-036-556-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications with 36 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold plating on the mating area and tin plating with nickel underplating on the tails. Rated for 5 amps continuous current and 1800VACrms insulation voltage, it offers a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms. The housing is green polyester thermoplastic.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Dual row configuration provides high-density connectivity
• Gold-plated mating surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring polarized connections
• High-voltage circuit interfaces up to 1800VACrms
• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin plating configuration against project requirements, as this model specifies tin plating on tails with nickel underplating. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility matches your PCB design. Ensure the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the card edge layout. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when polarizing key support is required for the 305 series form factor. The dual-row arrangement suits applications needing 36 contacts in a compact footprint. Consider the 5A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the vertical panel mount style fits the enclosure constraints compared to PCB mount alternatives.
