305-060-521-278

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-521-278 is a dual female card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 60 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch across two rows. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, suitable for non-specified double-sided cards with thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The insulator is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation from -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission.
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator provides durability within a specified temperature range.
• Panel mount design with through-hole soldering ensures secure mechanical attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces
• Agricultural technology hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity against EDAC Inc. official documentation before integration. Confirm that the specific suffix matches project requirements, as variations may exist within the 305 series. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Cross-reference the datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances to guarantee fit within the designated enclosure space.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-pin-count, double-sided connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The 60-position capacity supports complex circuit routing in compact panel-mounted designs. Consider the operating temperature range and contact material properties for long-term reliability in demanding environments compared to lower-specification alternatives.
