305-044-555-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-555-207 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 44 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Electrical specifications include a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation voltage of 1800 VACrms. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy, with gold plating on the mating area to ensure reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features low profile insulator body construction
• Utilizes gold plating on mating areas and tin plating on tails with nickel underplating

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard PCB thicknesses
• Test and measurement devices needing high insulation voltage ratings

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact pin count and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm that the required current rating of 5 A meets the system design specifications. Check for availability of polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-sided card edge connector with 44 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications where standard board dimensions are utilized. Consider the 1800 VACrms rating for environments requiring high dielectric strength. Verify that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the chassis design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its ability to accept polarizing keys and its suitability for vertical mounting. The 305 series provides a balance of electrical performance and mechanical stability for various industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include part numbers such as 305-048-520-207 and 305-052-555-207. These alternatives offer similar form factors but differ in position counts. Verify that any replacement maintains the required 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility.
