305-060-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-520-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 60 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body. It supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The termination method is solder, suitable for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the connector's acceptance range. Check for RoHS compliance status relevant to your region's regulations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 60-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating temperature range. Verify that the target PCB can accommodate the panel mount footprint and that the solder lug termination 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 row configurations to support diverse board-to-board or board-to-panel connection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating integration into various industrial and commercial hardware designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-040-520-268 or 305-038-520-502 if different position counts are acceptable. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration to preserve mechanical compatibility.
