305-068-500-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-500-501 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 68 positions in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 mm to 1.78 mm). The component employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a termination type of solder eyelets for panel mounting. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and includes a green thermoplastic insulator.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact design accommodates non-specified double-sided circuit boards.
• Panel mount installation style ensures secure mechanical attachment via solder eyelet termination.
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, termination style, and plating specifications. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness limits before integration. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Cross-reference ordering guides for series-specific handling requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68-position dual-row interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard double-sided board designs. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets system electrical demands. Consider the green housing color for visual identification during assembly processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which provides standard card edge connectors for general-purpose electronic applications.
