305-060-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female contact configurations. It features 60 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inch). The unit utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator rated UL 94V-0. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct termination type and mounting style compatibility. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm nominal specification before ordering. Cross-reference the pin count and row configuration with system design requirements to prevent interface mismatches during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female card edge interface is required for high-density signal transmission. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the mating card dimensions strictly adhere to the 1.57 mm thickness tolerance to maintain proper contact engagement and electrical continuity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides engineered solutions for power and signal connections. The series includes various configurations such as headers and standard card edge connectors. These components are designed to facilitate robust interconnections between motherboards, daughterboards, and extender cards in electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305/315/355 Series Ordering Guide for verified substitute part numbers. Consider the 315 series for additional contact terminations or extra mounting options. Evaluate other 305 series variants if different row counts or polarizing key requirements are necessary.
