305-038-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-038-521-568 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 38 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder pin termination for secure electrical connection. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it provides a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for precise alignment
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Supports vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control panel interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the exact contact plating thickness and flange configuration required for your application. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical constraints of the enclosure design before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row, 38-position interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power distribution needs. Consider the polarizing key acceptance feature if rotational or positional locking is necessary within the assembly structure.

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, providing a modular solution for board-to-board and board-to-panel connections. The 305 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic housing and standardized dimensional profiles.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with matching 38 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-038-520-502, provided the mounting style and flange specifications are verified.
