305-066-555-268

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-555-268 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 66 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current at +105°C maximum operating temperature. Insulation resistance is 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with low profile insulator body
• Dual female contacts accepting unspecified double-sided card edges
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Medical interconnect solutions demanding high reliability
• Agricultural technology equipment needing durable connectors in harsh environments

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or verified platforms. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging quantities prior to order placement. Ensure storage conditions maintain integrity of gold-plated contacts and thermoplastic insulation against environmental degradation.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 66-position dual-row connection is required for 1.57 mm thick PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wide spacing between contacts. Verify that the mating card edge geometry aligns with the specified acceptance criteria for double-sided insertion.
