305-058-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 58 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector accepts double-sided, non-specified card edges with a thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a solder lug termination type. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Vertical panel mount design with flanged housing for stable installation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm pin count, contact finish, and termination style match project requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability varies by region. Ensure the receiving board layout accommodates the specified 3.96 mm pitch and panel mounting hole dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 58-position interface is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for broader trace spacing compared to finer pitches, simplifying PCB layout for high-current applications. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to ensure proper contact engagement and mechanical retention.

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 options, all sharing a consistent 3.96 mm pitch and panel-mount form factor. These connectors are engineered for durability in demanding environments, featuring thermoplastic housings and standardized flange designs for easy assembly into chassis panels.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and mounting style but different position counts, such as 305-054-555-504 or 305-062-555-504, if pin count flexibility exists. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings.
