305-060-500-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-500-207 is a standard card edge connector featuring 60 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inch). Designed for vertical panel mounting, this dual female connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current, and housed in a thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration designed for double-sided card edge insertion
• Vertical panel mount style with solder lug termination for secure board attachment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body accommodates standard 0.062 inch PCB thickness

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computing hardware expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination type, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design requirements before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 60-position interface is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch offers robust mechanical stability compared to finer pitches. Confirm that the 5 A current rating per contact meets the electrical load requirements and that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C suits the environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305-060-500-207 specifically addresses applications requiring a dual-row, 60-pin interface with vertical mounting capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical 60-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as the 305-060-520-268 or 305-060-500-501. Verify that any replacement matches the specific termination style and mounting orientation required by the assembly.
