305-060-500-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-060-500-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 60 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and utilizes solder pin termination. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating and a thermoplastic insulator body, it supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
