305-048-555-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-555-207 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 0.156 inches (3.96 mm), and it accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a current rating of 5 amps. Termination is achieved via solder pin tails, ensuring secure electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female card edge design accommodating non-specified double-sided PCBs
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount installation style for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm termination type and plating specifications against project requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental operating temperature ranges (-40°C to +105°C) prior to integration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm to guarantee proper mechanical fit and electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 48-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style is suitable for chassis-based systems requiring robust mechanical retention. Consider the 5-amp current rating and gold plating for applications demanding durability and low contact resistance in industrial environments.

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, providing flexibility for different board densities. The 305-048-555-207 specifically addresses needs for double-sided board interfaces with durable gold-plated contacts and standardized 3.96 mm spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-048-520-207 or 305-048-500-558 for alternative termination options like solder lugs. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical 48-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and panel mount vertical orientation to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
