305-064-500-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-512 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) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body. The connector supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to ensure compatibility with required termination types and insulation colors. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended PCB thickness and mounting orientation. Cross-reference the part number with official EDAC documentation to validate current production status and availability constraints before finalizing procurement plans.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust dual-row interface is required for .062 inch boards. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational limits. Verify that the 5 A current rating per contact aligns with the system's electrical load requirements. Confirm that the vertical panel mount form factor fits the mechanical enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its reliability in demanding environments and standardized dimensions. The 305 series offers various position counts and termination options, providing engineers with flexible solutions for board-to-board or board-to-backplane connectivity applications requiring durable mechanical interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series cross-reference guide for direct substitutes. Potential alternatives include other EDAC models with identical 64-position dual-row configurations and matching 3.96 mm pitch specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the same PCB thickness tolerance and mounting style.
