305-058-556-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-556-258 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 58 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it supports PCB thicknesses of 1.57 mm. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing durability within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Dual edge female contact configuration for robust connection stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low resistance and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-reliability interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces demanding stable signal integrity
• Agricultural technology hardware exposed to harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm exact pin count, pitch, and termination style before purchase. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the panel mount vertical orientation matches the mechanical design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets prior to integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 58-position dual-edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. It is suitable for applications needing 5 A current capacity and polarizing key support. Consider the 1800 VACrms rating for insulation needs. Compare against similar models like 305-054-556-278 for position variations or 345-058-556-258 for different pitch requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and medical sectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options while maintaining consistent mechanical and electrical performance standards. The 305-058-556-258 specifically addresses the need for mid-range position counts with a 0.156-inch spacing.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

For equivalent specifications, consider EDAC model 305-054-556-278 for 54 positions or 305-070-556-568 for 70 positions, both sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and series characteristics. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
