305-052-555-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-555-502 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 52 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing. It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. Designed for panel mount installation, it accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). The component supports solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified board types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Panel mount installation style with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connectivity
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• General-purpose electronic assemblies needing high-reliability interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current catalog to ensure compatibility with required mounting hardware and insulation materials. Confirm that the target application accommodates the specified 0.156-inch pitch and 0.062-inch board thickness constraints. Cross-reference the RoHS status and environmental ratings with project compliance requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female interface is required for boards with a nominal 0.062-inch thickness. Ensure the design layout supports the 0.156-inch contact spacing and allows for panel mounting clearance. Consider the operating temperature range and gold plating requirements for long-term reliability in industrial environments compared to alternative series options.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors for various electronic applications. The series offers multiple position counts and spacing options to accommodate different board designs. The 305-052 variant specifically addresses needs for medium-density connections with durable metal contacts and stable insulation properties.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

The 305-050-556-502 serves as a similar alternative within the same series but features 50 positions instead of 52. Verify mechanical fit and electrical continuity requirements when substituting parts with differing pin counts or slight dimensional variations.
