305-060-500-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-060-500-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 60 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs semi-bellows contact types with gold plating for reliable signal transmission. Designed for panel mounting, it supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands voltages up to 1800 VACrms. The operating temperature range spans from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct flange features and termination style. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the application design. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure the selected variant meets the necessary voltage and current ratings for the intended circuit environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-edge card interface with 60 contacts is required. Ensure the host PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification. Verify that the panel mount style and flange configuration suit the enclosure design. Confirm that the 3.96 mm pitch matches the card edge layout requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles while maintaining consistent electrical characteristics. The 305-060-500-208 variant specifically provides a 60-position configuration suitable for dense interconnect applications requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitute part numbers. Generic equivalents may not match the semi-bellows contact geometry or polarizing key acceptance capabilities.
