305-054-500-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-500-502 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 a dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder eyelet termination. It accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm, offering a continuous current rating of 5 A and a dielectric strength of 1800 VACrms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-side female contact configuration for robust board insertion
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation for secure integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensuring reliable conductivity
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high voltage isolation
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 54-position dual-row specification. Confirm that the panel mounting style and vertical orientation align with the mechanical enclosure design. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Check for RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to the final assembly standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-sided card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength make it suitable for applications demanding higher electrical isolation than standard low-voltage connectors. The panel mount feature simplifies assembly in enclosed chassis environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, all sharing the consistent 3.96 mm pitch. The 305-054-500-502 variant specifically provides 54 contacts, balancing density with spacing for reliable signal integrity in industrial settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-050-500-502 and 305-050-556-502, though these differ in position count. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before swapping with other EDAC series parts.
