305-054-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-555-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 54 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a half-bead termination type, soldered to the board. It accommodates printed circuit boards with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm) and offers a continuous current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester
• Provides high dielectric strength with an 1800 VACrms rating

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control modules requiring polarized card insertion
• High-voltage signal distribution networks

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct pin count and termination style. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Ensure compatibility with the required PCB thickness limits before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, vertically mounted dual-edge connector is required for heavy-duty industrial environments. The inclusion of polarizing key acceptance ensures precise alignment during assembly. Consider the 5A current capacity and high voltage insulation requirements when evaluating alternative series options.
