305-062-520-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-520-212 is a standard card edge connector header designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 62 positions arranged in two rows. The contact spacing is 3.96 mm (0.156 inches), and the row spacing is 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is constructed from thermoplastic polyester.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Low profile insulator body design
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes to ensure correct contact finish and mounting style. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributors. Check for specific environmental ratings if operating in extreme temperatures. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration into the assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 62-position dual-row interface is required for .062 inch thick boards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing high density without excessive height. Consider the 5 A rating per contact for power distribution needs. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to accommodate different board sizes. The 305 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic construction and consistent 3.96 mm spacing, providing a standardized solution for edgeboard connectivity across multiple industries.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts like 305-048-520-212 or 305-040-520-268 for similar specifications but different pin counts. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 3.96 mm pitch and .062 inch board thickness acceptance to guarantee mechanical fit.
