305-048-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-500-558 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 a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder lug termination. It supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and has a current rating of 5 A. The housing is made of thermoplastic material, colored green, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for non-specified card types
• Panel mount installation with vertical orientation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic insulation housing for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• Automotive electronics interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange features and termination styles. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm requirement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure RoHS compliance requirements match project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 48-position connection is needed for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch offers spacing suitable for higher current applications up to 5 A. Consider the vertical mounting style for space-constrained enclosures where front-panel access is required. Verify that the gold plating meets corrosion resistance standards for the operating environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its reliability in harsh environments and standardized dimensions for easy integration into existing system designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination types. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if mechanical and electrical specifications match exactly. Verify pinout and mating card dimensions before substituting.
