305-066-520-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-520-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge mating applications. It features 66 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports a maximum PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and includes solder pin termination for secure board attachment. 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

• Dual female configuration for double-sided card edge insertion
• Gold-plated contacts on copper alloy substrate for durability
• Thermoplastic housing with green coloration
• Vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

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

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm contact plating thickness and material specifications. Ensure the target application matches the 1.57 mm PCB thickness requirement. Confirm that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical design constraints before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for high-reliability connections. The 66-position count suits complex signal routing needs. Consider the thermoplastic housing properties and operating temperature limits to ensure compatibility with the environmental conditions of the intended electronic assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides a range of standard card edge connectors. The series is characterized by its robust construction and consistent 3.96 mm spacing across various position counts. The 305-066-520-207 specifically addresses the need for higher density interconnects in dual-edge configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching pitch and position counts, such as the 305-060-520-207 or 305-066-520-268, provided the housing material and termination type remain compatible with the existing design.
