305-068-555-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-555-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 68 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accommodates a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and supports solder termination.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for non-specified card types
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Green thermoplastic polyester housing provides thermal stability

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized EDAC distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific packaging details prior to order placement. Ensure compatibility with existing panel mounting requirements and PCB design specifications to prevent integration issues during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high-density connections on dual-edge boards. The 3.96 mm pitch and 68-position count suit complex circuitry. Consider the vertical mounting style and solder termination method when designing the PCB layout. Verify that the 5 A rating meets the system's electrical load requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, a line of standard card edge connectors known for reliability in demanding sectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations, supporting diverse industrial, medical, and agricultural interconnect needs with consistent performance standards across different form factors.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series variants such as 305-070-556-568 or 305-068-555-508 if position count or plating variations are required. Ensure substitute parts maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and dual-edge specification to preserve mechanical fit.
