305-050-555-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-050-555-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual row configuration with 50 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The unit utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it supports printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features a low profile insulator body with flush mount flange and top opening
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms insulation capability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control board connections
• Telecommunications hardware integration
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the target application requires the 0.062-inch board thickness compatibility. Check RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution is required for double-sided edge cards. Ensure the design accommodates the 0.156-inch pitch and allows space for polarizing key insertion. Verify that the thermal environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational range for reliable performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which includes variants like 305-040-520-268 and 305-050-500-202. These connectors share common series characteristics such as the 3.96 mm pitch and thermoplastic construction but differ in position count and mounting details.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 305 Series parts with matching 50-position counts and panel mount requirements. Cross-reference the EDAC ordering guide for equivalent models with identical flange and termination specifications.
