305-068-521-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-521-201 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 68 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) contact pitch. The connector utilizes solder pin termination and gold-plated copper alloy contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. It accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. The insulator is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing durability across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration supports non-specified dual-sided card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable conductivity
• Vertical panel mount design integrates flange features for secure chassis installation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system backplanes
