305-044-555-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-555-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female board-to-board applications. It features 44 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The unit utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It employs a straddle mount installation style with solder termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for secure board interconnection
• Low profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Straddle mount installation for panel or board edge attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Card extender modules
• Board edge interconnects
• Panel mounting systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct contact finish, flange options, and termination type. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the component's acceptance range. Check current availability status as lead times may vary by region. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications if required for the target assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-sided connection with 44 pins is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability. Verify that the PCB stack-up allows for the specified 1.57 mm thickness. Consider the straddle mount footprint for enclosure integration. Compare against single-row alternatives if space constraints differ.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of edgeboard connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for standard card edge interfaces. The 305-044 variant specifically addresses mid-range pin count requirements within the dual female category, providing a standardized solution for industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305/315/355 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Alternative part numbers within the same series may offer different flange styles or termination methods while maintaining identical electrical parameters.
