305-064-500-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-504 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB applications. It features 64 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes female contacts with gold plating and copper alloy construction, rated for 5 A current. It supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, and the unit is panel-mounted vertically via solder lug termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation provides thermal stability
• Panel-mount vertical installation with solder lug termination

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness falls within the accepted range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm to ensure proper mechanical retention. Ensure the mounting style aligns with the panel installation requirements of the final assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The 64-position count suits applications needing substantial I/O density in a single connector footprint. Verify compatibility with the mating card edge profile and the available panel space for vertical mounting orientation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-064-500-504 specifically denotes the 64-position variant with dual-edge female contacts and gold plating, intended for robust industrial environments requiring durable electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 64-position dual-edge configurations, such as 305-064-500-278, provided the housing color and specific termination details match the design requirements.
