305-064-556-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-556-508 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 64 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic housing, supporting a current rating of 5 A. It accommodates printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status with the latest manufacturer data sheet to meet regulatory requirements for the intended deployment region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 64-position interface is required for panel-mounted systems. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical retention without excessive board space consumption. Consider the 5 A current rating and wide operating temperature range for environments subject to thermal variation or moderate electrical loads.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are engineered for general-purpose electronic interconnects. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing designers with flexible options for creating reliable connections between edgeboards and chassis-mounted headers in diverse industrial and commercial sectors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or termination types. Verify that alternative parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility to ensure mechanical fit.
