305-054-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-500-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting in a vertical orientation. It features a dual-row configuration with 54 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder pin termination. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount vertical installation style
• Solder pin termination method

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Embedded computing module interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm that the vertical panel mount design aligns with the mechanical enclosure constraints. Cross-reference the 5 A current rating with actual operational load requirements to maintain safety margins under thermal conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count, dual-row connection is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger contact spacing compared to finer pitches, potentially simplifying assembly. Verify that the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Consider the solder pin termination if through-hole mounting is preferred over surface mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various card edge connector options with different position counts and mounting styles. The series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating interchangeability within designs using similar form factors. The 305-054-500-207 specifically addresses needs for higher density connections in a vertical layout.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 54-position dual-row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings before substitution. Alternative manufacturers offering similar card edge connectors must match the 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance and vertical panel mount requirements.
