305-046-500-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-046-500-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female connections with 46 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts housed in a green thermoplastic polyester body. The component supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. It employs solder lug termination and is rated for PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and pitch against design requirements before procurement. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications. Ensure the PCB thickness falls within the supported mechanical limits. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project standards. Validate the solder lug termination method compatibility with assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row female interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs. Evaluate the vertical panel mount style for space constraints. Verify that the thermoplastic housing material suits the environmental conditions. Ensure the gold plating thickness meets corrosion resistance requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-046-500-502 variant specifically provides 46 positions. It is part of a broader family of edgeboard connectors used in industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with matching 46-position dual female configurations. Verify identical 3.96 mm pitch and 5 A current ratings. Ensure equivalent thermal performance and termination types.
