305-064-520-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-064-520-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 64 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts PCBs with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A current, it employs solder pin termination for secure board attachment.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration supports high-density interconnect requirements
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation ensures structural stability
• Solder pin termination offers robust mechanical connection to the circuit board

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring durable panel-mounted interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge form factors
• Test and measurement devices needing reliable signal routing
• Automotive electronics assemblies with specific thermal and mechanical constraints

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact part number against manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with your PCB stack-up and panel mounting requirements. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required contact count and pitch specifications. Cross-reference the datasheet for insulation resistance and current rating limits before integration into the final assembly design.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, panel-mount card edge connector is required for 1.57 mm thick PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates the trace spacing on the mating board. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified operating temperature range. Confirm that the gold plating thickness meets the endurance requirements for the intended mating cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its use of thermoplastic housing materials and copper alloy contacts. The 305 Series is widely utilized in industrial and commercial electronics where reliable, high-current connections are necessary for modular system designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include variants with different position counts, such as the 305-050-520-578 or 305-048-520-578, provided the physical footprint and electrical ratings remain compatible with the existing design constraints.
