305-060-556-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. model 305-060-556-558 is a standard card edge connector header from the 305 Series. It features a dual-row configuration with 60 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector is designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, utilizing solder pin termination. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm specific flange or housing variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the enclosure. Check for RoHS compliance status in the latest datasheet revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 60-position connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style is suitable for applications where space is limited on the PCB surface but panel penetration is feasible. The gold-plated contacts provide durability for repeated insertions. Ensure the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified tolerance range for optimal contact retention.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various configurations of card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its standardized spacing and robust construction for industrial environments. The 305-060 variant specifically provides 60 positions, balancing density and signal integrity for medium-scale interconnect needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 60-position count. Verify mechanical dimensions and terminal type compatibility before substituting. No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the provided data.
