305-052-556-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-052-556-501 is a dual-edge female card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for through-hole mounting. It features 52 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). Compatible with non-specified cards having a thickness of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78mm), it utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
