305-044-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-520-202 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 44 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The connector utilizes female half-beadle contacts with gold plating and a thermoplastic polyester housing. Rated for 5A current, it supports panel mount through-hole termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board retention
• Gold-plated half-beadle contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides structural stability
• Panel mount design facilitates robust mechanical integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes

• Medical device circuit board interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and flange dimensions. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status matches project requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and avoid counterfeit components during sourcing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 44 positions is required. Verify that the PCB thickness falls within the specified operational range. Ensure the mounting style aligns with the enclosure design constraints. Confirm that the operating temperature environment remains within the rated limits. Check that the current rating meets the application's electrical load demands without exceeding safety margins.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for diverse electronic interconnect needs. The 305 series is widely used in industrial and commercial electronics requiring reliable board-to-board or board-to-backplane connections. This specific model represents a standard dual-edge variant within that product family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing pin counts or flange styles. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before swapping with other series models. Ensure electrical ratings match the original design requirements. No cross-model generic substitutions are confirmed without explicit datasheet validation.
