305-062-555-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-555-501 is a dual-row female card edge connector designed for panel mounting applications. It features 62 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated contacts with a thickness of 10.0µin (0.25µm) on a copper alloy base, housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm), operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with half-crimped contact type for secure board retention
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount installation style with flange characteristics

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes
• Computer peripheral expansion interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current 305 Series Ordering Guide to confirm exact pin count, plating thickness, and mounting style compatibility. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified acceptance range. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector with 0.156-inch pitch is required for panel-mounted applications. Consider the 0.062-inch nominal board thickness constraint during mechanical design. Evaluate the need for gold plating durability against environmental factors. Compare alternative series members if different row spacings or mounting configurations are necessary for the specific assembly layout.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various standard card edge connectors. The series provides options for different pin counts, mounting styles, and contact spacings. The 305-062-555-501 specifically addresses needs for medium-density dual-row connections with panel mounting capabilities, fitting into broader system integration requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the official EDAC 305 Series cross-reference documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting interface specifications to guarantee functional interchangeability without redesigning the host assembly.
