305-064-500-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-212 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 64 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for vertical panel mounting. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, supporting a continuous current rating of 5 A and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. This component accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800VACrms voltage rating
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized backplane connections
• Test and measurement instrumentation needing high-density I/O headers

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact termination style and housing material variations. Ensure compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements before procurement. Confirm that the 1.57 mm board thickness specification aligns with the target PCB design constraints. Cross-reference the 5 A current rating with actual load conditions to prevent thermal issues during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row header with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel installation. Consider the 1800VACrms rating if high-voltage isolation is necessary within the assembly. The gold-plated contacts make it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and low contact resistance are critical. Verify that the 64-position count matches the interface density needs of the application.

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 while maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics. The 305 series is widely used in industrial applications requiring durable and reliable interconnect solutions for edgeboard modules.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC substitution guides for direct replacements. Verify that any alternative part maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration. Ensure mechanical compatibility with existing panel cutouts and polarizing key slots.
