305-066-500-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-066-500-508 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 66 positions with a 3.96 mm pitch. It utilizes a dual female contact configuration and supports a maximum board thickness of 1.57 mm. The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission and offers a 5 A current rating. Designed for panel mounting at a vertical angle, it uses solder pin termination to secure the connection to the printed circuit board.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact design accommodates standard card edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure corrosion resistance
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates structured assembly
• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the receiving facility has the capability to handle components with restricted availability status. Cross-reference the official EDAC documentation to validate that the 66-position count matches the intended PCB footprint requirements before finalizing the purchase order.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a high-density 66-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm spacing. The vertical orientation and panel mount style are suitable for applications requiring rigid structural support. Verify that the mating card edge board thickness falls within the 1.57 mm limit to ensure proper contact engagement and mechanical stability during operation.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides standardized card edge connectors for various electronic applications. The series is characterized by robust construction and consistent electrical performance across different position counts. This specific part represents a dual-row configuration designed for high-reliability connections in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with identical 66-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that any alternative maintains the same dual female contact type and vertical panel mount style to ensure mechanical compatibility.
