305-060-521-503

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-521-503 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 60 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with gold-plated contacts on a copper alloy base, it provides reliable electrical performance. The unit utilizes a thermoplastic insulator body and solder pin termination for secure panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration accommodates double-sided card edge PCBs
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable signal transmission
• Low-profile thermoplastic insulator body facilitates compact panel integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Confirm that the target application requires the exact 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility. Ensure panel mounting requirements align with the vertical installation style. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for environmental ratings before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection is required for thicker PCBs up to 1.57 mm. The 60-position count suits moderate-density applications. Verify that the operating temperature range meets system demands. Consider the vertical panel mount style for chassis integration needs. Ensure the gold plating specification satisfies corrosion resistance requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions. It serves as a reliable interface solution for modular electronic systems requiring high durability.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and board thickness but different position counts, such as 305-052-521-503 or 305-070-521-503. Verify mechanical fit and electrical rating before substitution.
