305-048-500-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-500-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features a 48-position configuration with a 3.96mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5A continuous current and 1800VACrms dielectric strength, it supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation. The unit accommodates card thicknesses within specified mechanical limits and employs solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for double-sided card edge insertion
• Gold-plated phosphor bronze or copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for alignment
• Vertical panel mount style with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computer peripheral interface boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct insulation color, contact finish thickness, and mounting style. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the design. Check RoHS compliance status as per the latest datasheet revision. Ensure panel cutout dimensions align with the connector's mechanical specifications before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current 5A rating and 1800VACrms isolation are required for dual-edge connections. The 3.96mm pitch suits larger industrial boards where spacing constraints allow. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement versus free-hanging styles. Verify that the green insulator material meets environmental temperature ranges of -40°C to 105°C for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and row configurations. Similar parts like 305-048-500-201 share the same position count and pitch but may differ in mounting style or insulation color. The series provides standardized solutions for robust card-to-board connectivity in demanding electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the EDAC 305 family include variants with different insulation colors or mounting hardware. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 3.96mm pitch, 48-position count, and dual-edge geometry. Verify that alternative connectors support the same 5A current rating and voltage withstand requirements.
