305-052-500-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-500-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 52 positions arranged in a dual female configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and terminates via solder eyelets. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The unit is rated for 5 A continuous current and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration provides reliable connection for non-specified dual-edge cards.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure stable electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
• Solder eyelet termination style facilitates secure panel-mounted installation.
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body accommodates standard board thicknesses.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm exact termination style, contact finish thickness, and insulation color. Ensure that the required PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory requirements for the target market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 52-position dual-edge interface is required for panel-mount applications. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch matches the design layout and that the 5 A current rating meets the system's power distribution needs. Verify compatibility with the intended polarizing key requirements if signal isolation is necessary for the application.
