305-060-555-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 60 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder lug termination type. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and provides an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Provides dual-row female contact configuration for high-density interconnect applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interfaces
