305-046-556-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-046-556-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel-mounted vertical installation. It features a dual-row configuration with 46 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Rated for 5 A current, it employs solder lug termination and thermoplastic housing to ensure reliable electrical performance in industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration providing high-density interconnect capability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel-mount vertical orientation for secure board retention
• Thermoplastic insulator body for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet or certified component list to meet regulatory requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 46-position vertical interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Validate that the application environment supports the specified temperature range and current rating. Compare against other 305 series variants if different mounting styles or row configurations are needed for the specific enclosure design.

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 spacing. These connectors are engineered for robust mechanical connection between edge-card modules and host systems in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different position numbers, such as 305-042-556-504 or 305-054-556-504. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings before substitution.
