305-052-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-500-568 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 52 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes a copper alloy contact material with gold plating and employs a solder pin termination method. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing structural integrity for high-density interconnects.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact count, pitch, and termination type match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer. Ensure the selected variant supports the intended PCB thickness and mounting orientation for proper integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection with 52 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. Verify that the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range. Ensure the mating card thickness falls within the acceptable tolerance for secure contact engagement and mechanical stability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-052-500-568 specifically addresses needs for moderate-density connections with robust gold-plated contacts and vertical panel installation capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for compatible alternatives. Verify that substitute parts maintain identical pitch, row configuration, and termination style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility without redesigning the host assembly.
