305-062-555-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-555-204 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board interfaces. It features 62 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Constructed with copper alloy contacts plated in gold, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The unit utilizes a thermoplastic polyester insulator body and supports a current rating of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for secure mating with double-sided card edges
• Low profile insulator body design to minimize vertical space requirements
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Automotive electronics assemblies needing reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target application requires a dual-edge female receptacle rather than a single-edge variant. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Ensure the PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm acceptance criteria before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge interface is required for a 62-position signal path. The 3.96 mm pitch is suitable for applications not demanding finer line spacing. Consider the 5 A current rating for power distribution needs within the connector limits. The straight mounting style fits standard panel or PCB mount configurations without angular adjustments.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations to support diverse electronic module designs. The 305 series is widely recognized for its durability and consistent electrical characteristics in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC part numbers such as 305-062-555-501, which shares identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Verify pin count and pitch compatibility before swapping components in existing designs.
