305-060-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-521-568 is a dual female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 60 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, the connector supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms. The insulator body is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body design for compact integration
• Dual female configuration with solder pin termination for reliable electrical connection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation needing high voltage isolation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 60-position count and 3.96 mm pitch before ordering. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C temperature range. Ensure the PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal acceptance criteria. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if applicable to the final assembly standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel installation. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for appropriate voltage applications. Verify compatibility with polarizing key systems if mechanical locking is necessary. Ensure the low profile design fits within the available vertical space constraints of the enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305-060 variant specifically provides a mid-range contact count suitable for moderate density signal or power distribution tasks in industrial hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include 305-048-521-568 and 305-080-521-568, which share identical mechanical and electrical specifications but differ in position count. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch and row spacing compatibility.
