305-066-555-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-555-207 is a standard card edge connector header featuring 66 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. It utilizes a dual female contact configuration designed for vertical panel mounting. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, while the tails feature tin plating over nickel underplating for soldering. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic material, supporting a maximum operating temperature of +105°C and a minimum of -40°C. The unit has a current rating of 5 amps and an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact design for secure card edge insertion
• Vertical panel mount orientation for stable structural integration
• Gold-plated mating surfaces ensure reliable signal conductivity
• Thermoplastic housing provides electrical insulation and durability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Computing hardware expansion slots

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm plating specifications and contact configuration. Ensure the target PCB thickness aligns with the connector's mechanical requirements. Confirm that the panel cutout dimensions match the housing profile for proper fit. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by project standards. Validate the supplier's authorization status before purchase.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 66-position interface is required within a 3.96 mm pitch constraint. Choose this model for applications demanding vertical panel mounting solutions. Consider the gold plating for environments requiring low contact resistance. Evaluate the thermal range against operational conditions. Compare against single-row alternatives if space permits reduced pin counts.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and pitch options. The 305 series is characterized by robust construction suitable for industrial environments. Similar parts in the series vary primarily in position count and specific plating configurations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series headers with identical 66-position layouts and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB stack-ups. Cross-reference with generic equivalents only if mechanical and electrical parameters match exactly.
