305-060-520-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-060-520-507 is a dual-row standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features 60 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch, accommodating board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, it offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. This vertical header employs solder pin termination for secure PCB attachment.

• Dual-row female configuration with half-waffle contact type for reliable signal transmission
• Flush-mount panel installation style featuring top opening and M3 threaded inserts
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance and low contact impedance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability within specified operating ranges

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument module mounting
• Embedded computing system expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm specific ordering suffixes. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets. Validate lead times directly with authorized distributors as availability may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row connection with 60 positions is required. Verify that the mating card thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational temperature limits. Confirm that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which includes various position counts such as 18, 38, 40, 48, and 50 positions. All variants in this series share common design characteristics including the 3.96 mm pitch and panel mount orientation. The series provides standardized solutions for high-density card edge applications requiring robust mechanical retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical pitch and row count but different position numbers, such as 305-050-520-507 or 305-048-520-508. Cross-manufacturer replacements require verification of pitch, height, and contact configuration. Ensure any alternative maintains the same thermal and electrical ratings for equivalent performance.
