305-064-520-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-520-201 is a standard card edge connector featuring 64 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission and offers a current rating of 5 A. Designed for panel mounting, it ensures secure vertical connection between the board and the connector housing.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates double-sided card edge PCBs
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure durable electrical connectivity
• Thermoplastic polyester insulator body provides structural stability
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates direct chassis integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Embedded computing hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm mechanical orientation and plating specifications before procurement. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the required current rating of 5 A aligns with the application's power distribution requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-density interface with 64 positions is required for double-sided card edge applications. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for substantial trace routing on the PCB. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement versus PCB mount alternatives. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C meets the environmental conditions of the deployment site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by robust construction and standardized dimensions for industrial reliability. The 305 series supports various position counts and mounting styles, providing a scalable solution for modular electronic systems requiring secure mechanical and electrical connections.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include part numbers such as 305-052-520-201 or 305-072-520-201, which share identical mechanical and electrical specifications but differ in position count. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch and board thickness compatibility.
