305-044-521-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-521-202 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB integration. It features 44 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm pitch, accommodating boards up to 1.57 mm thick. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination for secure electrical connection. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it employs a thermoplastic polyester housing and supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration supporting 44 contact positions
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester housing material
• Vertical panel mount orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connectivity
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Electronic instrumentation panels needing high-current signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness and mounting requirements. Confirm that the gold plating specification matches the application's corrosion resistance needs. Check regional availability as distribution may vary by location. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required current rating and thermal operating range for the intended environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 44-position count suits applications needing moderate channel density. Verify that the 1.57 mm PCB thickness tolerance fits the design constraints. Consider the vertical panel mount style for space-constrained enclosures where straight-through mounting is not feasible. Ensure the 5 A current rating meets the load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305 series is characterized by its durable construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating widespread adoption in industrial and commercial electronics manufacturing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 44-position dual-row layout. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution. No direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in public data.
