305-048-555-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-555-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 48 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports a maximum operating temperature of +105°C and a minimum of -40°C. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic housing, rated for 5 A current and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. It accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm, ensuring reliable vertical panel mounting via solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number with official EDAC documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status through certified datasheets prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity given the specified thermal range. Validate that the specific suffix matches the required contact plating and housing color specifications for your assembly requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density 48-position interface is required for dual-edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for broader trace spacing compared to finer pitches. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm operational window. Consider the 5 A current rating and 105°C thermal limit against your system's power dissipation needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-048 variant specifically addresses mid-range density needs. Similar models in the series include 305-014 and 305-054, differing primarily in position count while maintaining consistent pitch and electrical characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 48-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge configuration. Verify equivalent current ratings and thermal limits. Cross-reference mechanical dimensions to ensure panel cutout compatibility. Check for identical termination styles and contact plating specifications to maintain signal integrity.
