305-060-521-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-521-508 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for panel mount and through-hole termination. It features 60 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact spacing across two rows. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm). The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, accepting PCBs with a thickness range of 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37mm to 1.78mm). Operating temperature spans -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated semi-beryllium copper contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation providing thermal stability
• Panel mount installation with through-hole solder termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment internal circuit board connections
• Agricultural technology hardware interfaces
• General-purpose electronic module mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct plating thickness and flange specifications. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status for regulatory requirements. Check lead times as manufacturing typically requires approximately nine weeks. Ensure PCB design matches the specified thickness and pitch constraints before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60-position dual-edge interface is required with 0.156-inch spacing. It suits applications needing panel-mount stability and high-cycle durability due to gold plating. Consider the operating temperature range and material compatibility with the target PCB substrate. Verify that the mechanical fit aligns with the enclosure design and mounting hole patterns.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and spacing options for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305-060 variant specifically addresses higher-density connection requirements while maintaining the series' established reliability standards for industrial and commercial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-060-521-501 and 305-060-521-508 variations differing in packaging or minor cosmetic attributes. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of pitch, row count, and mounting style to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
