305-044-556-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-044-556-568 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features 44 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body, supporting a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and provides an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact interface for non-specified cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic insulator body with low profile construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange features and plating specifications. Confirm that the target application supports the specified 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust vertical connection is required for double-sided edge cards. Ensure the host chassis accommodates the panel mount footprint and that the mating card meets the 1.57 mm thickness tolerance. Verify environmental requirements align with the -40°C to +105°C operating range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse interface needs. The 305-044-556-568 specifically addresses applications requiring 44 positions with dual-row connectivity and panel-mount stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-022-556-568 or 305-054-556-568 if position count adjustments are needed while maintaining identical pitch and mounting characteristics.
