305-064-500-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-208 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mounting applications. It features a dual-row configuration with 64 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector accepts PCBs with a thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current, it supports vertical installation angles and employs solder lug termination methods. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, providing durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual female contact design ensures robust connection stability
• Gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and low contact resistance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, insulation material grade, and termination style variations. Ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB edge guide tolerances before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 64-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Confirm that the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification and that the application environment stays within the -40 C to +105 C operating temperature range.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options, maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings across different configurations for modular system design flexibility.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference part numbers within the EDAC 305 series for alternative position counts or termination styles. Verify mechanical footprint compatibility if substituting with connectors from other manufacturers offering similar 3.96 mm pitch specifications.
