305-058-500-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-500-204 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female connections. It features 58 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, accommodating a board thickness of 1.57 mm. Rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C, it provides 1800VACrms dielectric strength.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability and environmental protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces

• Automotive electronics demanding high-temperature reliability

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB board thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 5A current rating meets the application's electrical requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Confirm that the system design supports polarizing keys for correct insertion orientation. Evaluate thermal management needs against the +105°C maximum operating temperature limit and ensure the 5A current capacity aligns with the circuit load specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles, maintaining consistent pitch and mechanical dimensions across variants. This specific model represents a mid-range position count within the family, balancing connectivity density with physical footprint constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts or termination types. Verify that any substitute maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance to ensure mechanical fit without modification.
