305-068-500-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-500-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female contact configurations with 68 positions. It features a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic housing, rated for 5 A current at temperatures between -40°C and +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row female configuration for high-density signal routing
• Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic insulation provides stable mechanical support
• Panel mounting style facilitates secure chassis integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment interconnects
• Test and measurement instrument modules
• Automotive electronic control units

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified supply chain partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific lot traceability requirements prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions maintain humidity sensitivity levels as specified in the manufacturer datasheet to preserve contact integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 68-position dual-row interface is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. Evaluate thermal operating ranges against application environments. Consider panel mounting constraints and verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the supported 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range for optimal contact engagement.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

Part of the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. This series is characterized by robust construction suitable for demanding environments. The 305-068 variant specifically addresses applications requiring higher pin counts while maintaining the standard 3.96 mm spacing found across the family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical 68-position dual-row specifications and matching pitch dimensions. Verify compatibility regarding housing material, contact plating thickness, and mounting orientation before implementation.
