305-062-500-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-500-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for high-reliability interconnection applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 62 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure stable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, it employs a solder lug termination type for secure mounting. The unit operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes an insulating thermoplastic housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm exact termination and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the 62-position requirement with system design constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer documentation prior to procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row interface with 62 positions is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while providing robust mechanical retention. Consider the 5 A current rating and operating temperature range for environmental suitability. Verify that the solder lug termination aligns with the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and card guide solutions. The series is characterized by high-temperature insulators and extra contact terminations. Similar models in the family include variants with different position counts and mounting styles, such as the 305-062-555-278.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include part numbers with identical pitch and row configurations but differing position counts or mounting features. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings before swapping components.
