305-048-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-048-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual row configuration with 48 positions and a contact pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches), fitting within a range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it supports a continuous current rating of 5 A. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, operating reliably between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Low profile insulator body design for compact integration
• Dual row termination via solder pins for reliable electrical connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-density interconnects
• Industrial control systems utilizing standard thickness PCBs
• Communication equipment interfaces needing polarized keying options

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact material, plating thickness, and mounting lug configurations. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications if required for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. The 48-position count suits applications needing moderate signal density. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal range for environmental suitability. Verify compatibility with polarizing key requirements if mechanical locking is necessary for the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, all sharing common interface characteristics like the 3.96 mm pitch. The 305-048 variant specifically addresses needs for 48-pin dual-row connections, providing a standardized solution for vertical board insertion into panel headers.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts such as 305-048-500-201 or 305-048-520-508 for alternative mounting or packaging options. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch, 48-position count, and compatible PCB thickness range to guarantee mechanical fit.
