305-060-520-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-520-504 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mounting with a vertical orientation. It features 60 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration, accommodating PCBs with a thickness of 1.57 mm. The contact pitch is 3.96 mm (0.156 inches), and the contacts are gold-plated copper alloy terminated via solder pins. Rated for 5 A continuous current, this header utilizes a thermoplastic housing and supports an operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accepting between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic housing provides structural integrity and insulation
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates secure board integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation boards
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm pin count, contact spacing, and termination type match the design requirements. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the required PCB thickness and mounting orientation. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-position dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Consider the 5 A current rating and thermal stability up to 105°C for high-reliability applications. Verify compatibility with polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary for the assembly environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and contact spacings to support diverse board-to-board and backplane connections. The 305-060-520-504 specifically addresses needs for higher density connections within a 3.96 mm grid format.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with identical 60-position dual-row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 1.57 mm PCB thickness tolerance and vertical panel mount style to ensure mechanical fit.
