305-064-500-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-064-500-268 is a standard card edge connector featuring 64 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation capability. Designed for vertical panel mounting, it uses solder pin termination. The thermoplastic housing ensures reliable performance within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual-edge female contact configuration for robust signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount design facilitates structured chassis integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Medical device circuit board interfaces
• Energy management hardware connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact contact plating, housing color, and termination style variations. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required polarizing key compatibility and thermal ratings for the intended application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for high-current applications up to 5 A. Verify that the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm tolerance. Consider the need for polarizing keys if mechanical alignment security is critical. Ensure the vertical panel mounting style fits the enclosure constraints and thermal requirements of the system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides versatile interconnection solutions for various electronic systems. The 305-064-500-268 specifically offers a 64-position configuration, distinguishing it from other variants in the family that may feature different position counts or termination styles while maintaining the same fundamental pitch and mounting characteristics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitute part numbers. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch, 64-position count, and dual-row configuration. Verify compatibility with existing polarizing key requirements and panel mounting specifications before implementation.
