305-064-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board connections. It features 64 positions arranged in two rows with a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a thickness of 10.0 µin (0.25 µm). Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes flange features for panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required flange configurations and termination styles. Confirm that the selected variant matches the intended PCB thickness and mounting orientation. Cross-reference the RoHS status and material composition with current regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for dual-edge boards. Ensure the application environment stays within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design and that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements of the circuit.
