305-050-520-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-050-520-204 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual female termination with 50 positions. It features a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The insulator body height is 0.470 inches (11.94 mm), and it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting hardware. Confirm that the 50-position count matches the design requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure the vertical panel mount style aligns with the chassis design. Validate the gold plating specification against corrosion resistance needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge female connector with 50 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits standard board layouts. Consider the 0.062-inch board thickness limit during PCB design. The vertical orientation dictates panel cutout dimensions. Gold plating offers superior performance in high-cycle applications compared to tin variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-050-520-204 specifically addresses high-density connection needs with its 50-position layout. It complements other series members by offering a standardized interface for modular electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-050-556-502 and 305-050-520-268. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before substitution. Ensure mechanical dimensions match the existing enclosure. Check electrical ratings for equivalence.
