305-056-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-056-500-501 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 56 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts finished in gold, it utilizes a semi-bellows contact type for reliable engagement. The insulator body is green thermoplastic, supporting vertical panel mounting.
