305-048-555-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-555-258 is a standard card edge connector featuring 48 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch with a 3.56 mm (0.140 inch) row spacing. Designed for .062 inch (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The connector supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female header design accommodating specified board thickness
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnections
• Vertical card edge interface systems
• Standard PCB header applications requiring dual-row connectivity

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm terminal type and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the selected variant meets the required environmental operating temperatures and current ratings for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the mating card thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal specification. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder pin termination method during mechanical integration planning. Ensure the 5 A current rating suffices for the electrical load requirements.

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. The 305-048-555-258 specifically denotes a 48-position dual-row configuration. This series is designed for robust industrial and commercial interconnect solutions requiring high reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants sharing identical pitch and position counts. Verify mechanical dimensions and termination types match the existing footprint. Consult official substitution guides for equivalent performance characteristics.
