305-060-500-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-500-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications. It features 60 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and terminates via solder eyelets. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific termination type and mounting orientation against your assembly requirements before ordering. Confirm that the PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required for your project specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-count, dual-row interface is necessary for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board designs while maintaining signal integrity. Consider the thermal rating of +105°C for environments requiring moderate heat resistance. The gold finish offers durability against corrosion in demanding operational settings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in modular electronics. The series offers various position counts and termination options to suit different density requirements. The 305-060-500-203 specifically addresses needs for robust, high-pin-count connections in industrial and commercial applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pin counts and pitch but different termination styles, such as the 305-060-520-203. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before swapping components to maintain system compatibility.
