305-060-556-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-556-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female contact configurations with 60 positions. It features 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 and solder pin termination methods. It is constructed with a UL 94V-0 thermoplastic polyester insulator and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
