305-068-520-208

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-520-208 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for panel-mounted vertical installation. It features 68 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a dual-row configuration. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator. It supports a maximum operating temperature of +105°C and a minimum of -40°C, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms and a current rating of 5 A per contact.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female card edge interface with gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount design with solder pin termination for secure PCB integration
• Thermoplastic insulator housing providing high insulation resistance and thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system board interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplane connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required tail length and contact code specifications. Ensure compatibility with the target circuit board thickness of 1.57 mm to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and electrical performance during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 68-position dual-row connection is required with a 3.96 mm pitch. The vertical panel mount style suits applications needing direct board-to-board or board-to-panel interfaces. Verify that the 5 A current rating and +105°C temperature limit align with the operational environment requirements of the target electronic system.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and contact configurations. The series is characterized by its standardized 3.96 mm spacing and robust construction suitable for general-purpose electronic applications. The 305-068-520-208 specifically denotes the 68-position variant with defined tail and contact parameters within this family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 Series parts sharing the same 3.96 mm pitch and 68-position count. Ensure identical mounting style and row configuration when evaluating substitutes. Verify that alternative components meet the same electrical ratings and environmental specifications for seamless integration.
