305-064-500-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge PCB insertion. It features 64 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches), ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts terminated via solder lugs and is housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic polyester
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Compatible with non-specified dual-edge cards

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels
• Automotive electronic modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required position count and termination type. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly. Ensure the host panel provides adequate support for the specified board thickness range. Check for any specific ordering suffixes that may alter mounting or contact configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 64-position count suits applications needing moderate I/O density. Consider the panel mount style for chassis integration rather than PCB surface mounting. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental demands of the final enclosure.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and contact terminations. The series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic insulators and gold-plated copper alloy contacts. Similar models in the series vary primarily by position count and specific mounting hardware configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical 64-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-brand replacements require matching the 3.96 mm spacing, 3.56 mm row spacing, and 1.57 mm board thickness tolerance.
