305-038-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-038-555-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 38 positions arranged in a dual row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, providing a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
