305-056-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-056-500-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 56 positions arranged in two rows, utilizing a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing. The connector employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder lug termination. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 56 positions for high-density interconnection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Solder lug termination supports secure panel mounting applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment with dual-edge card requirements
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact type and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before integration. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability status and compliance certifications such as RoHS.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical, panel-mount solution with 56 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing for higher voltage isolation or mechanical stability. Confirm that the solder lug termination method aligns with the assembly process and that the housing material meets environmental operating conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are engineered for durable performance in demanding environments. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, providing flexibility for different board designs. The 305-056-500-558 specifically addresses needs for medium-to-high density connections with standardized dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and pitch, such as 305-056-500-258, provided the housing color and specific contact tail dimensions match the design constraints. Always verify electrical ratings and mechanical fit before substitution.
