305-058-556-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-058-556-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 58 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with female half-beadling contacts for secure mating
• Low-profile insulator body design suitable for panel mounting
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical performance in harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect solutions requiring durable connectors
• Agricultural technology systems needing robust environmental resistance
• Industrial control panels utilizing vertical panel mount headers

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited availability notices associated with this specific part number.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 58 positions and 3.96 mm pitch is required. The vertical panel mount style and low-profile body are key selection factors for space-constrained enclosures. Verify that the 5 A current rating and operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meet the system requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its 3.96 mm pitch and acceptance of 1.57 mm thick boards. Other variants in the series differ primarily in position count and specific mounting hardware configurations while maintaining similar electrical and mechanical standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult EDAC Inc. directly for confirmed substitute part numbers within the 305 series. Cross-referencing requires matching the 58-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge female contact type. Verify that any alternative maintains the same panel mount angle and PCB thickness tolerance.
