305-066-520-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-520-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female termination with 66 positions. It features a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator body. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage, it supports panel mount installation at a vertical angle. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Low profile insulator body design suitable for space-constrained applications
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Communication equipment utilizing standardized module connections
• Medical devices needing high-reliability vertical interconnects

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pin count, row configuration, and termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 0.062 inches. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead time requirements directly with authorized distributors prior to purchase.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female card edge connector with 66 positions is required. The 0.156-inch pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility are critical constraints. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage for electrical safety margins in the specific application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations for dual female headers. These connectors are characterized by their vertical panel mount style and use of thermoplastic polyester materials for the insulator body, providing stability in industrial environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination styles. Verify that any alternative maintains the 0.156-inch pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness specifications to ensure mechanical fit.
