305-050-556-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-050-556-212 is a standard card edge connector designed for vertical panel mount applications. It features a dual row configuration with 50 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inch). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a current rating of 5 A. Termination is achieved via solder pins, and the housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to confirm current availability status and regional shipping restrictions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 50-position connection is required for vertical mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard card edge layouts. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by high-density configurations and durable thermoplastic housings. The 305-050-556-212 variant specifically addresses needs for 50-position interfaces in space-constrained vertical panel installations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers within the same 305 series family sharing identical position counts and pitch dimensions. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping components.
