305-062-556-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-062-556-201 is a standard card edge connector featuring 62 positions in a dual female configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, it employs solder pin termination. The insulator is constructed from thermoplastic material, providing an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.
