305-066-555-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-066-555-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting applications. It features a dual female configuration with 66 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating on the mating area, while the tails utilize tin plating over nickel underplating for soldering. This header supports a current rating of 5 amps and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female contact configuration for reliable board-to-board or backplane connections
• Gold-plated mating surfaces ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance
• Vertical panel mount style facilitates secure installation in chassis environments

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument panels

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm terminal plating and insulation material variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and panel cutout dimensions before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 66-position interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Consider the vertical orientation and panel mount style for structural integration. Verify that the 5 amp current rating and operating temperature range meet the environmental requirements of the specific application circuit.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This connector belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge headers. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing modular solutions for electronic interconnects. The 305-066 variant specifically addresses needs for higher pin counts in compact vertical installations.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 66 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-066-555-508, provided the terminal plating differences are acceptable. Verify mechanical fit and electrical ratings before substitution.
