305-060-555-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-555-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 60 positions and a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides high voltage isolation capability with 1800VACrms rating
• Utilizes half-beam contact type for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing high-density dual-row connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and flange characteristics. Confirm that the thermoplastic polyester housing meets environmental requirements for the intended operating temperature range. Cross-reference the 60-position dual row layout against PCB design specifications to ensure proper fitment within the enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. Ensure the application supports the 5 A current rating and operates within the specified thermal limits. Verify that the board thickness accommodates the connector's retention mechanism and that the gold plating thickness meets corrosion resistance needs for the environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are characterized by their versatility in accepting various polarizing keys and robust construction. The series offers multiple position counts and row configurations, making it suitable for diverse electronic assembly needs where reliable vertical interconnection is critical.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 60-position dual row layouts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as the 305-060-520-512 if different flange options are acceptable. Verify that any replacement maintains the same current rating, voltage isolation, and material composition.
