305-048-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-500-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-side board insertion. It features 48 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts terminated via solder eyelets. It supports printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration for double-sided card edge connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Solder eyelet termination method for secure PCB mounting
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• General-purpose electronic assembly interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct termination style and plating specifications. Confirm that the target application accommodates the required 1.57 mm board thickness and panel mount requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability and compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-density connection is required for double-sided edge cards. Ensure the design allows for vertical installation and provides adequate space for the solder eyelet termination profile. Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified thermal limits and that the mechanical fit aligns with the defined pitch and row spacing constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which offers various configurations for standard card edge applications. The series is characterized by its low-profile insulator body and durable construction suitable for demanding environments. This specific model represents a fixed-position variant optimized for direct panel or chassis integration without additional mounting lugs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC part numbers 305-048-500-201 and 305-048-500-202, which share identical electrical and mechanical parameters. These alternatives maintain the same 48-position layout and 3.96 mm pitch while offering different housing color options or minor packaging variations.
