305-066-500-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-500-558 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 66 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards, it utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage. The component employs a solder lug termination type and supports vertical panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body construction for compact integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable electrical performance

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic assemblies requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Industrial control systems utilizing standardized PCB thicknesses
• High-voltage signal routing applications within specified ratings

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and mounting hardware. Ensure that the receiving printed circuit board strictly adheres to the nominal .062 inch thickness specification to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical contact integrity during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this connector when a high-density 66-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. It is suitable for designs necessitating vertical panel mounting and solder lug termination. Confirm that the application environment remains within the 5 A current and 1800 VACrms voltage limits defined by the component specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm contact spacing and structural dimensions. The 305-066-500-558 variant specifically provides the 66-position configuration within this established family framework.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult official EDAC documentation for confirmed substitute part numbers within the 305 series or compatible families. Verify that any replacement maintains identical 3.96 mm spacing, .062 inch board thickness acceptance, and vertical panel mounting requirements.
