305-044-556-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-556-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 44 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy terminals and a green thermoplastic housing. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit employs solder pin termination and is intended for panel mounting configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Check regional availability constraints as distribution may vary by location.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 3.96 mm pitch dual-row connector is required for panel mount installations. Verify that the target card edge thickness falls within the specified mechanical limits. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational range. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets system power requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm pitch characteristics. The 305 series is engineered for robust industrial and commercial applications requiring reliable dual-edge connectivity with standardized form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-044-556-258 or 305-044-556-502 if different termination styles or housing colors are acceptable. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly before substitution.
