305-054-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-500-568 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 copper alloy contacts with gold plating and employs a solder pin termination method. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and supports a continuous current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features half-beam contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Constructed with thermoplastic insulation material for durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required position count and pitch specifications before ordering. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Ensure the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the enclosure. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel installation. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms voltage capability for electrical requirements. Evaluate the need for polarizing key acceptance if alignment security is critical for the application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing versatile solutions for edgeboard connections. The 305 series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic insulation and gold-plated copper alloy contacts, ensuring consistent performance across different industrial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include the 305-054-520-568 and 305-054-556-278, which share identical 54-position configurations and 3.96 mm pitch specifications. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same panel mount vertical orientation and solder pin termination style to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
