305-062-520-278

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-520-278 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 62 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports dual-edge card configurations. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic housing. It is rated for 5 A current and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The unit employs solder lug termination and accommodates board thicknesses of 1.57 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Vertical panel mount style with solder lug termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure correct contact plating, housing material, and termination type. Confirm that the required board thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical specifications. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with relevant environmental directives such as RoHS before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. The 62-position capacity suits designs needing moderate density without excessive footprint. Verify that the operating environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C range. Consider the solder lug termination method if through-panel mounting is preferred over surface mount alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-062 variant specifically provides 62 positions, distinguishing it from lower-count models like the 305-040 or higher-count options. It shares the series' characteristic 3.96 mm pitch and robust construction suitable for industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 62 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-062-520-268 or 305-062-555-278, provided termination and housing details match requirements.
