305-056-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-056-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 56 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder pin termination type. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules needing high-temperature stability

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure correct contact plating and termination style. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal specification. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Ensure panel mounting hardware compatibility with the vertical installation style.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 56-position interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications where standard board thicknesses are utilized. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal performance limits for power distribution requirements. Verify that the solder pin termination matches the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which provides various position counts and row configurations. The series is characterized by its durable construction and suitability for harsh environments. The 305-056 variant specifically addresses needs for higher density connections while maintaining the established mechanical footprint of the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 56-position count. Verify identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before substitution. Ensure any alternative maintains the dual-row female configuration and vertical panel mount style.
