305-038-520-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-038-520-207 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 38 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a maximum board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Designed for vertical panel mounting via solder pins, the housing is made of thermoplastic material. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge guide dimensions and panel cutout requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 5 A current rating and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for demanding environments. Confirm that the mating card edge thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification to ensure proper mechanical retention and electrical contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, designed for robust electronic interconnections. The 305-038-520-207 variant specifically addresses needs for 38-position dual-row interfaces in industrial and commercial hardware systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with identical 38-position dual-row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical footprint and terminal type compatibility before substitution.
