305-062-521-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-521-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female board-to-board connections. It features 62 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and accepts between-contact or in-contact polarizing keys. It provides a continuous current rating of 5A and supports up to 1800VACrms voltage. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, suitable for vertical panel mounting applications requiring reliable signal transmission.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with mating card edge thickness requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 5A current rating aligns with system design limits. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or lead time variations directly with authorized suppliers.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 62-position dual-edge connector with a 3.96mm pitch is required. Consider the 5A current rating and 1800VACrms voltage capability for high-power applications. Verify that the vertical panel mount style fits the enclosure design. Ensure the polarizing key options match the mechanical constraints of the assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and pitch options to accommodate different board designs. The 305-062-521-558 specifically addresses needs for higher density connections with robust electrical ratings.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants for similar pitch and position counts. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact configuration before substituting with generic equivalents. Ensure that any replacement maintains the same current and voltage ratings.
