305-058-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-520-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount and through-hole installation. It features 58 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it supports dual-edge female connections. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in industrial environments.
