305-064-521-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-521-501 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for through-hole mounting. It features 64 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating, housed in a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C and complies with RoHS3 standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for secure board insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Through-hole solder termination for panel installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Medical device internal circuitry
• Consumer electronics mainboards

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific pin count and spacing against the target PCB layout before ordering. Confirm that the board thickness falls within the acceptable range for proper engagement. Check for RoHS3 compliance requirements if the end product mandates environmental regulations. Ensure the through-hole footprint matches the connector's terminal dimensions to prevent assembly issues during manufacturing.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection is required for dual-sided edge cards. The 0.156-inch pitch offers a balance between signal density and mechanical stability. Consider the low-profile body if vertical space constraints exist within the enclosure. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final application site.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides standard card edge connectors for various industrial and commercial applications. The series offers multiple position counts and mounting styles to accommodate different design needs. EDAC specializes in durable interconnect solutions for harsh environments, ensuring long-term reliability in critical electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 64-position count, 0.156-inch pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that alternative parts support the same 0.062-inch board thickness and through-hole mounting style. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and panel cutouts to avoid redesign efforts.
