305-050-556-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-050-556-512 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 50 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing and a 0.140-inch row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it provides a continuous current rating of 5A and withstands 1800VACrms. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, offering a low-profile design suitable for various electronic applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height
• Gold-plated half-beadle contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted connections
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact spacing, plating thickness, and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 50 positions is required. Ensure the application supports vertical panel mounting and utilizes a 0.156-inch pitch. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C meets environmental requirements. Confirm that the 5A current rating is sufficient for the intended electrical load.

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 styles. The 305-050 variant specifically addresses needs for 50-position interfaces. It is widely used in industries requiring durable, solder-pin termination connectors for panel-to-board connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Verify identical pin count, spacing, and mounting style when selecting alternatives. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same voltage and current ratings.
