305-048-500-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-500-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 48 positions arranged in dual rows, utilizing a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm (0.054" to 0.070"). Contact materials consist of copper alloy with gold plating, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation voltage of 1800 VACrms. Termination is achieved via wire hole solder eyelets.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulators for durable housing
• Features semi-waffle contact types for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-voltage isolation
• Industrial control systems utilizing polarized card edge interfaces
• High-current signal distribution boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 512 corresponds to the required termination style and packaging configuration. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Ensure that the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage meet the system's electrical requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount card edge connector is required for dual-row applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger gauge traces or higher power requirements compared to finer pitches. The gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance. Consider the availability of polarizing keys if precise alignment is critical for the mating card.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for industrial environments. Variations within the series differ primarily in position count, termination type, and mounting style, while maintaining consistent pitch and material specifications across the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical 48-position dual-row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-brand replacements must match the 1.37–1.78 mm board thickness tolerance and panel mount vertical orientation. Verify that alternative parts support the same 5 A current rating and polarizing key acceptance.
