• Dual-edge female contact configuration for versatile board integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the specified operational range. Consider the vertical panel or PCB mount orientation based on system mechanical constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting configurations. The 305-050 variant specifically addresses applications needing 50 connection points in a dual-row arrangement.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or mounting styles. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly.
