305-064-556-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-556-507 is a standard card edge connector designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual-row configuration providing 64 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is made of green thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodating two-sided PCB contacts

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count, termination type, and insulation color before ordering. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification to guarantee proper mechanical engagement. Confirm that the required current rating aligns with the 5 A per contact limit defined in the official component documentation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density connection is required for double-sided edge cards. The 3.96 mm pitch offers robust spacing for industrial environments compared to finer pitches. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and verify that the housing material meets environmental temperature constraints specified in the datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which specializes in standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and termination options for diverse electronic assembly needs. The 305-064 variant specifically addresses applications requiring 64 connection points within a compact dual-row footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series cross-reference list for direct substitutes. Verify that any alternative maintains the identical 3.96 mm pitch, 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility, and dual-row female configuration to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
