305-066-500-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-066-500-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 66 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. It employs solder pin termination and is housed in green thermoplastic polyester insulation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies
• Industrial control systems
• Communication equipment interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm contact plating, terminal type, and insulator color. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design requirements before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with a 0.156-inch pitch is required. Confirm that the 66-position count matches the circuit layout. Verify that the solder pin termination method is compatible with the assembly process and that the vertical installation angle fits the enclosure constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305-066-500-512 specifically denotes a 66-position variant with gold contacts and solder pins, distinct from other series like the 516 or 315 which may have different mechanical profiles.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 0.156-inch pitch and 66-position count. Verify that any substitute maintains the dual-row female configuration and compatible board thickness specifications.
