305-048-521-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-521-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 48 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a solder pin termination type. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure card insertion
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation for structural stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides thermal resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm flange characteristics and terminal style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Cross-reference distributor part numbers with original manufacturer identifiers to avoid substitution errors during sourcing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 48-position connection is required for dual-edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger conductors compared to finer pitches. Verify that the panel mounting hole pattern matches the connector's flange specifications. Consider the operating temperature range if deployed in extreme environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by robust panel-mount capabilities. The series offers various position counts and flange options to suit different mechanical constraints. The 305 series is widely used in applications requiring durable, high-reliability interconnects for industrial and commercial electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include 305-048-521-207 and 305-048-521-278. These alternatives share identical electrical parameters but may differ in flange design or mounting thread specifications. Verify mechanical fit before replacement.
