305-050-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-050-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for reliable signal transmission in electronic assemblies. It features 50 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure low contact resistance and durability. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it employs a solder pin termination method for secure board attachment. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing insulation and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for enhanced alignment and security
• Features a low-profile insulator body for compact assembly requirements
• Utilizes half-beam spring contact design for positive retention

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects

• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact configuration details such as flange type and mounting style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and row spacing specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 50 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing 5 A current capacity and gold-plated contacts. Consider the panel mount vertical orientation and solder pin termination when designing the enclosure and PCB layout. Verify that the housing color and material meet environmental requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in various electronic industries. The series offers multiple position counts and mounting options. The 305-050-500-568 specifically represents a 50-position variant designed for double-sided card edge applications, providing a balance of density and reliability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series cross-reference documentation for direct substitutes. Alternative parts must match the 50-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that any replacement maintains the same current rating and contact plating specifications.
