305-054-555-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-054-555-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female connections. It features 54 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The component supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation with solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration for high-density signal routing
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connectivity
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's current ordering guide to ensure compatibility with required board thicknesses and mounting hardware. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the part number with official datasheets to validate electrical ratings and mechanical dimensions before integration into final assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge female interface is required for 1.57 mm thick PCBs. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified operating temperature range. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and solder pin termination method during mechanical design. Verify that the 54-position count matches the system's I/O requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their 3.96 mm pitch and versatile mounting options. The series offers various position counts and configurations to accommodate different electronic module designs. The 305-054 variant specifically provides a higher density connection point compared to lower position counts in the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the EDAC 305 series include parts with identical pitch and mounting styles but different position counts, such as 305-050-555-508 or 305-058-555-508 if available. Verify mechanical fit and electrical continuity before substitution. No cross-brand replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
