305-048-556-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-048-556-207 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 48 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, the unit employs solder pin termination. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic material, supporting an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

• Vertical panel mount style provides secure structural integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 48-position count and 3.96 mm pitch specifications. Confirm compatibility with 1.57 mm board thicknesses before procurement. Ensure the gold contact finish meets environmental requirements. Check RoHS compliance status against project regulations. Validate panel mounting orientation needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-row interface is required for thick PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch offers robust spacing for industrial environments. Gold plating provides corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. Panel mounting ensures stability in vibration-prone applications. Verify thermal ratings align with operational conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 305-048 variant specifically addresses higher density requirements within the dual-row category. It serves as a header for mating with edge-board connectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include EDAC 305-048-556-204 and 305-048-556-508. These alternatives share identical 48-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch dimensions. Verify housing color and specific termination details when substituting.
