305-052-500-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-500-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female connections. It features 52 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it utilizes a thermoplastic insulator body. The unit supports solder eyelet termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
