305-048-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 48 positions arranged in two rows. The contact spacing is 3.96 mm (0.156 inches), and the row spacing is 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a solder pin termination type. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female card edge interface with 48 positions for reliable signal transmission
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design facilitates secure board insertion and retention
• Thermoplastic insulator body provides structural integrity and electrical insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge connections
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Telecommunications hardware modules
• Automotive electronic subsystems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color variations within the 305 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 48-position dual-row connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical mounting style is suitable for chassis-mounted applications where space efficiency is prioritized. Consider the gold plating for environments requiring high reliability. Verify that the solder pin termination method matches the available PCB fabrication capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different board sizes and mechanical constraints. The 305-048-500-568 specifically addresses the need for a mid-range position count with durable contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 48-position specifications but different suffixes for minor variations. Cross-brand replacements must match the 3.96 mm pitch, 1.57 mm board thickness, and dual-row configuration to ensure mechanical fit.
