305-066-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 66 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder eyelet termination. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Solder eyelet termination method for secure PCB attachment

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact finish and termination type. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm requirement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 regulations if required for the specific project environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a panel-mount solution is required rather than direct PCB mounting. The 66-position count suits moderate-density signal routing needs. Verify that the 3.96 mm pitch matches the edge card design. Consider the vertical orientation for chassis integration constraints. Ensure the 5 A rating meets the electrical load requirements of the application circuits.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting styles for industrial interconnect applications. The 305-066-500-568 specifically addresses the need for high-reliability connections in panel-mounted configurations with standardized dimensions.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for alternative part numbers with different position counts or mounting styles. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 3.96 mm pitch card edge connectors only if mechanical and electrical specifications match exactly.
