305-052-500-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-052-500-508 is a standard dual-edge card edge connector featuring 52 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for panel mount vertical installation, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation. The thermoplastic insulator accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm, ensuring reliable signal transmission in industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body designed for space-constrained panel mounting
• Gold-plated contacts ensure durable electrical performance over repeated cycles

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Medical device circuit board connections
• Agricultural technology equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating thickness and material composition. Ensure the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for proper mechanical retention. Confirm that the required current rating of 5 A aligns with the application's thermal management capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. It is suitable for applications needing polarizing key compatibility and robust insulation voltage ratings. Consider the 52-position count and thermoplastic housing material for environmental durability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and compatibility with nominal 1.57 mm thick printed circuit boards. The 305 series provides a reliable solution for high-density interconnects in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants sharing the same 52-position count and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact configuration before substituting to ensure panel fit and electrical continuity.
