305-060-555-278

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-278 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount vertical installation. It features a dual-row configuration with 60 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Electrical specifications include a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, housed in a green thermoplastic body. Operating temperature ranges from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board retention
• Low profile insulator body design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications
