305-066-500-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-066-500-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 66 positions arranged in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulation body. It supports board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female contact design for non-specified dual-edge cards
• Panel mount installation with flush mount flange and M3 threaded inserts
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Test and measurement equipment interfaces
• Communication hardware backplanes

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify specific ordering suffixes against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct contact plating and termination type compatibility. Confirm that the target PCB edge card meets the specified thickness tolerance of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm for proper mechanical engagement. Check RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer prior to final procurement decisions.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 66-position connection is required in a vertical panel-mount configuration. Ensure the application environment stays within the -40°C to +105°C operating range. Verify that the mating card edge geometry aligns with the dual-row, non-specified card type requirements defined in the datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The 305-066-500-507 specifically provides a 66-position solution with a 3.96 mm pitch, distinguishing it from other series members by its specific flange features and contact count.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC cross-reference guides for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume generic equivalents are compatible due to strict dimensional tolerances and flange specifications.
