305-040-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-040-555-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-edge female connections. It features 40 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The component supports solder pin termination and offers a continuous current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body for compact panel mounting applications
• Provides dual-row configuration with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring dual-edge card interface
• Industrial control systems utilizing polarized card edge modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required polarization keys and mounting styles. Confirm that the target application utilizes a PCB thickness within the specified range of 1.57 mm. Check manufacturer documentation for updated environmental compliance status and surface finish specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row female connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel installation. Ensure the design accommodates the 1.57 mm nominal board thickness constraint. Consider the availability of compatible polarizing keys if mechanical locking against the card edge is necessary for the specific assembly environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various mounting options and configurations for card edge applications. The series is characterized by its robust construction and ability to accept polarizing keys, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where secure connection integrity is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the same 305 Series family for variations in position count or termination style. Verify that any substitute maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility to ensure mechanical fit.
