305-060-556-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-060-556-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications with a 60-position configuration. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and employs a solder lug termination method. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge card connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Solder lug termination provides secure panel mounting and mechanical stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required termination style and plating thickness. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and REACH regulations for your region. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the specified 3.96 mm pitch and 60-position count to guarantee compatibility with the target PCB design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 60-position layout suits high-density applications needing robust electrical connections. Verify that the host system accommodates the 1.57 mm board thickness constraint and the vertical panel mounting orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides various mounting options and row spacings. The series is engineered for durability in demanding environments, offering consistent performance across different position counts while maintaining standardized dimensions for interchangeability within compatible systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants for alternative position counts or termination styles. Ensure any substitute maintains the identical 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration to preserve mechanical fit and electrical continuity.
