305-054-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-520-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 54 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. It accepts printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm) and employs solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for enhanced system integration
• Features a low-profile insulator body design suitable for space-constrained panel installations
• Utilizes half-beam contact type for reliable signal transmission on dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Automated machinery with modular electronic sub-assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and terminal styles. Confirm that the thermal rating and current capacity meet the operational requirements of the target application before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 54-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. Ensure the host PCB thickness falls within the specified acceptance range and that the mating card edge geometry aligns with the connector's contact specifications for optimal electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their .156 inch pitch and versatile mounting options. The series supports various position counts and termination types, providing a scalable solution for diverse electronic interconnection needs across multiple industrial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-054-520-201 or 305-054-520-203 if different plating thicknesses or insulator colors are required. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility before substituting with non-OEM equivalents.
