305-062-556-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-062-556-208 is a standard card edge connector featuring 62 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row pitch. Designed for vertical panel mounting, the receptacle accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current at temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C, it offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates non-specified double-sided edge cards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body ensures high dielectric strength and thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm mechanical dimensions and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the 5 A current rating aligns with the application's electrical requirements. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are prohibited in the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust, high-current connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications where board density is secondary to reliability. Consider the vertical panel mount style for chassis integration. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental conditions. Ensure the solder lug termination matches the assembly process capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305 series is designed for general-purpose industrial and commercial applications requiring durable connections. Variations within the series differ primarily by contact count and specific mounting hardware configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference the 305-060-556-208 for similar specifications with fewer positions. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substituting any alternative manufacturer parts. Ensure the replacement maintains the same dual-row female contact type and panel mount orientation.
