305-064-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-520-501 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female termination on non-specified double-sided cards. It features 64 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a half-beam spring contact type for reliable engagement. Termination is achieved via solder pins in a vertical panel mount style.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for secure connection to double-sided circuit boards
• Half-beam spring contact design ensures stable electrical performance
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance
• Vertical panel mount installation facilitates structural integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment needing reliable signal transmission
• Agricultural technology applications in harsh environments
• General-purpose electronic modules using double-sided PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, contact material, and insulation color specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness ranges before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through manufacturer datasheets or authorized distributor declarations to meet regulatory requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. The half-beam contact type offers superior retention force compared to standard beam contacts. Verify that the application utilizes non-specified double-sided cards compatible with the 0.156-inch pitch dimension.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors, which provides standardized solutions for various board thicknesses and contact configurations. The series supports both single and dual-edge designs with options for different termination styles and contact materials to suit diverse industrial and commercial electronic assembly needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series variants such as 305-064-521-501 for potential differences in contact surface finish or insulation color. Verify mechanical dimensions and mating card specifications before substituting with generic equivalents to ensure interface compatibility.
