305-060-555-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 60 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder lug termination type. It accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm) and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Features a low profile insulator body constructed from green thermoplastic polyester
• Provides a continuous current rating of 5A and withstands 1800VACrms dielectric voltage

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB modules
• Test and measurement equipment needing reliable high-density connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors, as availability may vary by region. Cross-reference the part number with the latest datasheet to validate material properties and environmental ratings before final procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 60-position interface is required for panels. Ensure the host PCB thickness matches the 0.062-inch nominal specification. Verify that the application environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Confirm that the 5A current rating and 1800VACrms insulation requirements are sufficient for the target circuit design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of card edge connectors, which are characterized by their versatility in accepting various polarizing keys. The series offers multiple position counts and termination options, catering to diverse industrial and commercial interconnect needs. The 305-060 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a higher density connection point on a single module.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include parts with identical pitch and position counts but different flange or termination styles, such as the 305-060-520-203. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution. No direct cross-brand replacements are confirmed in public documentation.
