305-048-520-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-520-204 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 pin termination. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for non-specified edgeboards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Embedded computing module interfaces
• Test and measurement instrument connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the target PCB design accommodates the required 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row layout. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the end product assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-density connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 48-position count suits complex signal routing needs. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to 125°C operating range. Consider the panel mount requirement as it differs from board-level connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305-048 variant specifically provides a mid-range density solution suitable for general-purpose industrial and commercial electronic assemblies requiring durable mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts for different position counts or termination styles. Verify compatibility with existing panel cutouts and mating edgeboard dimensions before substitution.
