305-060-556-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-556-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications with 60 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) plating thickness and half-beehive contact types. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is made of green thermoplastic polyester, and it supports panel mount installation with a vertical orientation.
