305-052-500-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-500-201 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 52 positions in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The connector supports a current rating of 5 A per contact and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
