305-060-500-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-500-512 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 60 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Termination is achieved via solder eyelets. The housing is made of thermoplastic material, supporting an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row header design for high-density board connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Panel mount installation with vertical orientation
• Solder eyelet termination for secure PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Automotive electronic sub-systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish thickness and insulation resistance values against the official manufacturer datasheet prior to ordering. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions align with the component's mechanical specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target card edge thickness of 1.57 mm. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or lead time variations directly with authorized suppliers.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-position dual row interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard board layouts requiring robust electrical connections. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal stability up to 105°C for demanding environments. Verify that the solder eyelet termination method matches the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 305-060-500-512 specifically provides a 60-position solution with gold contacts and panel mount features, distinguishing it from PCB mount variants within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series headers having identical 60-position dual row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substituting.
