305-052-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-500-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 52 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current, and utilize solder pin termination. The housing is green thermoplastic, supporting PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact configuration for robust board-to-panel interconnection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic housing provides structural integrity and electrical insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control panels requiring high-density connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm plating thickness, housing color, and termination style variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge guide dimensions and panel cutout specifications before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 52-position dual-edge connector is required for panel mounting. Confirm that the system design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness. Evaluate the thermal environment to ensure operation within the specified -40°C to +105°C range. Verify that the gold plating meets the application's conductivity and wear requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and termination options, providing flexibility for different board densities. The 305-052-500-558 specifically addresses needs for medium-high density connections with durable metal contacts.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 52 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-052-500-278 or 305-052-520-258, provided the termination style and housing material are compatible. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
