305-064-555-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-555-208 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual-edge female configuration with 64 positions arranged in two rows. The connector utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current and 5 GOhms insulation resistance. The housing is made of green thermoplastic material, ensuring operation within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm compliance with current RoHS and REACH regulatory standards required for the intended deployment environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Confirm that the mating card edge thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm operational window. Verify that the 5 A current rating and 5 GOhms insulation resistance meet the circuit requirements. Ensure the dual-row configuration aligns with the available board space and signal routing constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
