305-064-521-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-521-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 64 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. It is engineered to accept printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The insulator body is green thermoplastic polyester, rated for operation between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual edge female connector design for reliable board insertion
• Gold-plated contacts ensure stable electrical performance
• Low profile insulator body accommodates space-constrained panels
• Solder pin termination provides secure PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel connections
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Medical device interface modules
• Energy management system controllers

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 64 positions is required for vertical panel mounting. The 0.156-inch pitch suits general-purpose industrial interconnects. Verify that the housing material and temperature rating meet the environmental requirements of the intended application zone.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and row configurations. The 305-064 variant specifically addresses high-density connection needs within the standard pitch family, providing a balance of signal count and mechanical stability for panel-mounted assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts such as 305-050-521-578 or 305-080-521-578 if different position counts are needed. Ensure any substitute maintains the same 0.156-inch pitch and dual female configuration for direct interchangeability in existing designs.
