305-068-500-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-500-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female termination with 68 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with a gold finish of 10.0 µin (0.25 µm) thickness, ensuring reliable conductivity. Rated for 5 A current, it employs solder eyelet termination and thermoplastic polyester insulation. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, this panel-mount component provides robust interconnection for high-density applications.
