305-060-500-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-500-503 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 60 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. It supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides high dielectric strength with an 1800 VACrms rating
• Features gold-plated contacts on copper alloy substrates for reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnect systems requiring polarized keying
• Industrial control panels utilizing vertical card edge mounting
• Equipment demanding robust insulation performance under high voltage conditions

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 503 corresponds to the required contact termination style and flange characteristics. Confirm compatibility with polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary for the application. Ensure the selected variant meets the required insulation voltage ratings for the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 60-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the 1800 VACrms insulation capability for high-voltage isolation needs. Verify that the panel mount vertical style aligns with the chassis design constraints and thermal 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 termination options. The 305-060-500-503 specifically addresses applications needing higher pin counts with standardized spacing and durable contact materials.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-060-500-502 or 305-060-500-508, depending on the required termination type and flange configuration. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch and board thickness compatibility.
