305-052-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-052-521-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 52 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder pin termination. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch) and has a continuous current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board retention
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from green thermoplastic material
• Provides high dielectric strength with a voltage rating of 1800 VACrms

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Vertical panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing polarized PCB connections
• Equipment requiring 5 A continuous current capacity at dual-row interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and insulator color specifications. Confirm compatibility with polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary for the application. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm design tolerance to guarantee proper contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 52 positions is required for panel-mount applications. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness constraints during layout design. Evaluate the need for polarizing key integration to prevent misalignment during insertion.
