305-068-500-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-500-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features a dual female configuration with 68 positions and a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability in operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC channels or certified distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain material integrity. Validate mechanical fit against target PCB specifications before final assembly. Check for any regional distribution restrictions that may affect availability.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a 68-position dual-edge interface is required with 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm acceptance range. Consider the vertical panel mount requirement and available flange space for 4-40 threaded inserts. Ensure current rating requirements align with the 5 A specification per contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of edgeboard connectors, which are engineered for robust industrial and medical applications. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility. These connectors utilize semi-c波纹管 contacts for secure mating force and are designed for high-cycle durability in demanding environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include part numbers such as 305-068-500-502 and 305-068-500-504, which share identical mechanical dimensions and pin configurations. Verify that alternative suffixes do not alter the contact plating or housing material properties before substitution.
