305-058-555-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-555-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 58 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. It employs a solder pin termination method and is constructed with a thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female connector design accommodating non-specified dual-edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount installation style with solder pin termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and termination style. Confirm that the dual-row configuration matches the target PCB layout. Check RoHS compliance status against current regulatory requirements for the intended market. Ensure the panel mounting hardware aligns with the connector's flange specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection is required for thick PCBs up to 1.57 mm. The 3.96 mm pitch offers robust mechanical stability compared to finer pitches. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and solder pin termination method during mechanical design. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the application.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305 series is characterized by its durable construction and consistent electrical performance across different configurations within the product line.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-058-555-568 or 305-058-520-578 if different termination styles are needed. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 58-position count. Ensure mechanical dimensions and mounting hole patterns remain compatible with existing panel designs.
