305-060-520-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-520-558 is a standard card edge connector featuring 60 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, supporting a current rating of 5 A. Termination is achieved via solder pins suitable for through-hole mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female connector design for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity
• Panel mount vertical style facilitates secure chassis integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific contact finish thickness and insulation resistance values against the official EDAC datasheet prior to procurement. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions align with the specified board thickness requirements. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge guide tolerances to prevent mechanical stress during insertion. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with current regulatory standards for the intended market.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 60-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density within a compact footprint. Consider the vertical panel mount style if space constraints dictate a perpendicular connection relative to the housing. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-060-520-558 specifically addresses the need for a robust, dual-row interface with gold-plated contacts for durability in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 60-position dual-row configurations and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-060-520-502, provided the termination style and mounting orientation remain compatible.
