305-068-520-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-520-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 68 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with solder pin termination. It offers a continuous current rating of 5 A and a dielectric voltage strength of 1800 VACrms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Dual female edge configuration with gold-plated contacts
• Thermoplastic housing material for reliable insulation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Medical equipment interfaces
• Agricultural technology hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm exact plating thickness and housing color variations within the 305 series. Confirm that the target PCB design accommodates the specified 1.57 mm thickness and 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 68 positions is required for panel-mounted vertical installations. The 3.96 mm pitch and 5 A rating suit high-density applications needing durable gold-plated contacts. Consider the 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for high-voltage isolation requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and pitch options, maintaining consistent mechanical dimensions for panel mounting. The 305-068 variant specifically addresses needs for higher channel density while retaining the established 3.96 mm spacing standard.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 68-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-068-520-558, provided housing color and specific tail dimensions match the assembly requirements.
