305-066-520-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-520-268 is a standard card edge connector featuring 66 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for panel mount installation at a vertical angle, the unit accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is made of green thermoplastic material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accommodates double-sided PCB traces
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and conductivity
• Low-profile insulator body reduces overall assembly height requirements
• Panel mount vertical orientation secures connection stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic module interconnections
• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interfaces
• Medical device internal board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact pin count and termination style compatibility. Ensure the target PCB edge thickness matches the 1.57 mm specification for proper insertion force. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range to maintain insulation integrity and contact performance standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required for vertical panel mounting. The 66-position count suits applications needing moderate channel density without excessive footprint expansion. Verify that the gold-plated termination meets the electrical durability requirements for the intended signal types and current loads.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305 series is characterized by its robust thermoplastic housing and reliable solder pin termination methods suitable for through-hole mounting processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 66-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-row female configuration. Verify identical panel mount vertical orientation and compatible PCB thickness tolerance before integration.
