305-064-521-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-521-558 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for board-to-board applications. 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). Constructed with a green thermoplastic polyester insulator, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. The unit supports a continuous current rating of 5A and withstands 1800VACrms dielectric voltage.
