305-058-500-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-500-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 58 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a maximum operating temperature of +105°C. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator, rated for 5 A current. It accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and includes floating eyelets for panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design for non-specified card edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides stable performance across wide temperatures
• Panel mount style with floating eyelets for secure installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment with high-density signal routing
• Automotive electronics modules needing durable connections
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes to confirm contact plating thickness and housing color variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm before ordering. Confirm that the 58-position layout matches the design footprint requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 58-position count suits high-pin-count interfaces. Consider the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C operating range for environmental suitability. Verify that the floating eyelet feature aligns with the mechanical mounting constraints of the enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-058-500-203 specifically addresses the need for a 58-position dual-edge interface. It shares common design principles with other 305 series parts but differs in pin count and specific mounting hardware configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-050-500-203 and 305-058-520-203. These alternatives share identical pitch and form factor but may differ in housing color or specific flange dimensions. Verify electrical ratings and mechanical fit before cross-referencing.
