305-062-556-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-062-556-508 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 62 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a row pitch of 3.56 mm (0.140 inch). Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, the connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and finished with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength, it employs solder pin termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body made of thermoplastic material
• Provides high dielectric strength suitable for demanding electrical environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing high-density vertical connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 305 series designation and 62-position count. Confirm the requirement for dual-edge compatibility and the specific 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure the application environment supports the specified temperature range and current ratings. Check for any specific polarizing key requirements before finalizing the procurement list.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-current, dual-row card edge interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and spacing. Consider the gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance. Verify that the PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification to ensure proper mechanical engagement and electrical contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its versatility in position counts and its ability to accept various polarizing keys. The 305 series is widely used in industries requiring reliable, high-density connections between backplanes and daughter cards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row configuration but different position counts, such as 305-018-555-508 or 305-048-556-508. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of pitch dimensions and mechanical fit.
