305-060-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting 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 semi-bellows contact types made of copper alloy with gold plating, suitable for female connections. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm 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 a 5A continuous current rating with 1800VACrms insulation capability
• Features green thermoplastic polyester insulation housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring high-density interconnects
• Industrial control systems utilizing card edge interface standards
• Equipment needing robust vertical connection with polarizing key support

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact type, plating thickness, and housing color specifications. Confirm that the required polarizing key style matches the connector's acceptance criteria. Check current availability status as lead times may vary due to manufacturing schedules.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-position dual-row card edge connector is required for panel installation. Ensure the host PCB design accommodates the specified 3.96 mm pitch and compatible board thickness range. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating temperature limits and requires the stated electrical ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for reliable signal transmission in demanding environments. The series offers various position counts and configurations, maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical performance characteristics across different variants within the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for cross-reference information. Potential substitutes must match the 60-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, dual-row layout, and panel mount vertical style. Verify compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements before substitution.
