305-058-556-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-058-556-501 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 58 positions in a dual-row configuration, utilizing a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector accepts non-specified dual-edge cards with a thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contact plating is gold over nickel on copper alloy terminals, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.
