305-046-500-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-046-500-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 46 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a termination style of solder eyelets. Designed for panel mount installation, 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-row female connector design accommodating non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Solder eyelet termination facilitates secure panel mounting
• Thermoplastic insulator body supports operation across wide temperature ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Communication equipment backplane connections
• Medical device module interfaces
• Energy management system card slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, termination type, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness and panel mounting requirements before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets as regulatory standards may evolve.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 46-position dual-row interface is required for vertical panel mounting applications. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the mating card edge layout. Consider the solder eyelet termination method for robust mechanical fixation on chassis panels rather than surface-mounted board applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by thermoplastic insulators and gold-plated contacts designed for durability. The 305 series supports various position counts and termination styles to accommodate diverse industrial and commercial electronic assembly needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts or termination types. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against original design specifications before substituting with similar components from other manufacturers.
