305-046-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-046-556-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications. It features 46 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Constructed with copper alloy contacts that are gold-plated, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The unit utilizes a thermoplastic insulator body and employs solder pin termination for secure mounting.
