305-040-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-040-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row female connections with 40 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Constructed with copper alloy contacts and gold plating, it utilizes a thermoplastic insulator body. The unit employs solder pin termination and supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic insulator body with low profile design
• Vertical panel mounting style with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Computer peripheral module interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct termination type and mounting hardware specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal requirement. Check regional availability status as distribution may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required for the final assembly environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 40 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard connectors. Verify compatibility with the system's thermal range of -40°C to +105°C. Ensure the panel mounting style fits the mechanical enclosure constraints. Confirm that the solder pin termination method matches the manufacturing process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations for card edge applications. The series provides options for different position counts and mounting styles. The 305-040-500-568 specifically addresses needs for 40-position dual-row connections. It complements other parts in the family by providing standardized dimensions and electrical characteristics for consistent system integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or termination types. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly. Verify that any alternative maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness acceptance.
