Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact contact plating, housing color, and termination style specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness and mounting requirements before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the latest certified documentation provided by EDAC Inc. to meet regulatory standards for your region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Verify that the 58-position count aligns with the circuit board trace layout. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C range. Confirm that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the connected system components.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in electronic assemblies requiring reliable high-density connections. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different board sizes and mechanical constraints. The 305-058-520-201 specifically addresses needs for dual-edge mating with a moderate pin count.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts or mounting angles. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against any proposed substitute connectors to ensure functional equivalence without redesigning the host assembly.
