305-062-555-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-555-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 62 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Contacts are made of copper alloy and gold plated, supporting a current rating of 5 A. The housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration providing 62 connection points
• Panel mount installation style with vertical alignment
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body construction

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment interface modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation backplanes
• Automotive electronics subsystems

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and flange specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design requirements for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel mounting. The 62-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements. Consider the vertical orientation constraint during mechanical layout planning to ensure proper clearance within the assembly housing.

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 a mid-range pin count suitable for general-purpose industrial interfaces. The model number encodes the series, position count, row configuration, and termination details.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 62 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-062-555-278 or 305-062-555-568, provided the termination and flange options match the design.
