305-064-556-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-064-556-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications. It features 64 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). Constructed with copper alloy contacts that are gold-plated, it ensures reliable electrical performance. The housing is made of green thermoplastic material, providing durability and insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official ordering guide to ensure correct flange and termination options. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the supplier or through the latest datasheet revision. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or lead time variations prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the target PCB thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification. Verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the enclosure. Compare pin counts and row configurations against alternative models in the 305 series if different densities are needed.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and row configurations. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and low-profile insulator body. Other variants in the series differ primarily in position count and specific mounting hardware, sharing common electrical and mechanical standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row count but different position numbers, such as 305-054-556-568 or 305-070-556-568. Cross-series replacements require verification of pitch, board thickness compatibility, and mounting hole patterns to ensure mechanical fit.
