305-058-555-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-555-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 58 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with gold plating and supports a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it employs solder pin termination and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts polarizing keys between and in contacts for secure alignment
• Low profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Dual row configuration with half-beam contact type for reliable engagement

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB modules
• Communication equipment housing dual-row interconnect requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required flange and thread plug configuration, as these physical attributes vary within the series. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to integration. Ensure the ordering code aligns exactly with the specified position count and termination style to prevent mechanical incompatibility during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution with 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A rating suits moderate power applications. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm acceptance window. Consider the half-beam contact design for mating force characteristics compared to other series options.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and compatibility with polarizing keys. These connectors are engineered for durability in industrial environments, offering high insulation resistance and stable electrical performance across wide temperature ranges.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305 series variants such as 305-058-555-568 if different flange or thread plug configurations are needed. Ensure replacement parts maintain the same 58-position count and 3.96 mm pitch to preserve mechanical fit.
