305-060-555-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 60 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, ensuring reliable conductivity. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, providing durability and insulation. This vertical panel-mount header supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official documentation prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of gold-plated contacts. Validate part number suffixes against current EDAC specifications to avoid functional mismatches during integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when dual-edge card connectivity is required with 3.96 mm pitch. Verify PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification for proper engagement. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs. Ensure panel mounting style aligns with mechanical enclosure requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

Part of the EDAC 305 series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series provides standardized dimensions for compatibility with industry-standard card edge designs. Similar models include 305-018-555-508 and 305-070-556-568, differing in position count and specific contact configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series connectors with matching 60-position dual-row layouts. Verify identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm PCB thickness compatibility. Cross-reference mechanical drawings for flange and mounting hole alignment before substitution.
