305-058-555-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-058-555-268 is a standard card edge connector featuring 58 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm (0.140 inch) row spacing. Designed for vertical panel mount installation, this component accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is made of thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body design for compact integration
• Dual female contact configuration for high-density PCB interconnections

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial equipment control panels
• Computing system backplanes
• Medical interconnect solutions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical assembly requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for 0.062-inch thick boards. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for electrical safety margins. Evaluate the need for polarizing key acceptance if board retention is critical. Compare against other series members for position count variations while maintaining the same mechanical footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing and 0.062 inch board thickness compatibility. The 305 series is designed for robust industrial applications requiring reliable vertical connections. Other variants in the series differ primarily in the number of positions and specific termination details.
