Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical constraints of the enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 58-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C thermal limits and that the 5 A current rating meets circuit requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for industrial and commercial electronics. The 305-058-556-512 variant specifically addresses needs for vertical panel mounting with high-density connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the 3.96 mm pitch and 58-position layout. Verify identical panel mount orientation and board thickness compatibility before substitution.
