305-048-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-048-556-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 48 positions arranged in a dual row with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic housing. It supports board thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it employs solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Vertical installation style facilitates panel-mounted applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and board thickness tolerances. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch aligns with the target PCB design specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the intended market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 48-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the application demands a 5 A current rating and accommodates the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm board thickness range. Verify that the thermoplastic housing material meets environmental resistance needs for the operating temperature spectrum.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and housing options while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. The 305-048 variant specifically addresses high-density connection needs within industrial and commercial electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 series cross-reference guide for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains identical 48-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and vertical mounting orientation.
