305-062-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-555-212 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 62 positions with a contact pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The unit supports a nominal printed circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches) and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Rated for 5 A continuous current, the connector employs a thermoplastic insulator body and offers straddle mount installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms insulation capability
• Features a low-profile insulator body to minimize vertical space requirements

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Dual-edge card extender modules
• Straddle mount interconnect systems
• High-density electronic assembly interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required 62-position configuration and dual-edge readout orientation. Confirm compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and ensure the mounting style aligns with the system's mechanical constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge connection strategy is required for the application architecture. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the connected circuitry without exceeding thermal limits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing and robust construction standards suitable for industrial and commercial electronic environments requiring reliable board-to-board or board-to-backplane connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference compatible parts within the EDAC 305 family that share identical 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness specifications. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 62-position count and dual-edge functionality to ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability.
