305-064-555-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-555-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female applications. It features 64 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches (1.37–1.78 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy with a 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) finish, utilizing semi-spring terminals. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within -40°C to +105°C. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, supporting panel mount installation.

• Thermoplastic polyester insulation housing in green color
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37mm to 1.78mm range. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project regulations. Ensure panel mounting hardware compatibility with the connector's physical dimensions before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96mm pitch accommodates standard board widths while maintaining signal integrity. Consider the 5A current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the semi-spring terminal type matches the mating card edge requirements for secure mechanical retention without soldering to the card itself.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its robust construction and wide operating temperature range. Similar parts in the series differ primarily in position count, such as 305-014 or 305-060, and mounting styles, providing modular solutions for diverse electronic enclosure designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other 305-series connectors with matching 64-position dual-edge configurations. Verify equivalent pitch and current ratings when considering alternative manufacturers. Cross-reference flange dimensions and mounting hole patterns to ensure mechanical interchangeability in existing panel cutouts.
