305-062-520-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-520-258 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual female mating configurations. It features 62 positions with a pitch of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The unit utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and supports a current rating of 5 A. Designed for panel installation, it accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, ensuring durability in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure card edge mating
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Panel mount orientation with vertical installation angle
• Thermoplastic polyester housing for structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interface connections
• High-density PCB-to-backplane interconnects
• Electronic module mounting systems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Confirm that the 62-position layout matches the design footprint requirements. Cross-reference the manufacturer datasheet for precise dimensional tolerances and mating force characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for high-pin-count applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits larger form-factor boards. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40 C to +105 C meets environmental demands. Ensure the panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and housing colors. The 305-062 variant specifically addresses high-density connectivity needs within the family. It shares common mechanical interfaces with other models in the series while differing in pin count and specific housing dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers 305-052-520-258 and 305-048-520-258, which share identical pitch and mounting characteristics but offer lower position counts. Verify that the reduced pin count does not impact circuit functionality before substitution.
