305-060-520-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-060-520-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 60 positions and a contact pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body. It supports a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and employs solder pin termination. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and maintains an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact type and plating specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the connector's design limits. Check current availability status as supply conditions may vary by region. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density dual-row interface is required for vertical panel integration. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while providing sufficient spacing. Consider the gold plating for applications demanding low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Verify that the thermal rating meets the operational environment requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its standardized dimensions and reliable performance in harsh environments. Similar parts in the series include variants with different row counts or mounting styles, all sharing the core 3.96 mm pitch architecture.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include part numbers like 305-060-520-201 or 305-060-500-568, depending on specific contact tail configurations and color coding requirements. Always cross-reference mechanical drawings to ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and board thicknesses.
