305-066-521-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-521-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 66 positions and a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a half-beam contact type to ensure reliable signal transmission. It supports PCB thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge card connections
• Gold-plated copper alloy half-beam contacts for secure mating
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Thermoplastic insulator housing in green color

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronic module connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact pin count, contact plating specifications, and insulation material properties. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and mounting requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the part number with the latest EDAC documentation to validate current availability and compliance status.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-edge connection is required for panel-mounted assemblies. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger board traces compared to finer pitches. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified operating temperature range and that the mechanical load on the connector does not exceed its rated capabilities during insertion and removal cycles.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers a range of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options to suit different board densities. The 305-066 variant specifically addresses applications requiring a higher number of interconnection points within a single connector footprint.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 Series parts with matching 66-position dual configurations. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and panel mount style to ensure mechanical fit.
