305-054-500-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-500-204 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 54 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder lug termination type. It is rated for 5 A current and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of approximately 1.57 mm. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest environmental declarations before finalizing procurement specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 54-position card edge connector is required for panel-mounted vertical installations. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch and 5-ampere current rating for suitable load requirements. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range and matches the physical dimensions of the mating card edge.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in various electronic assemblies. The series offers multiple position counts and mounting options to accommodate different design constraints. The 305-054-500-204 specifically addresses needs for higher density connections in a compact panel-mount form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or termination styles. Cross-reference with other EDAC series such as 315 or 355 if alternative mounting configurations are needed. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substituting with generic equivalents.
