305-068-555-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-068-555-204 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 72 positions arranged in two rows. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and accepts PCBs with a thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +105°C. The housing is constructed from green thermoplastic polyester, providing an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure positioning
• Provides reliable electrical connection through gold-plated half-beam spring contacts
• Features a thermoplastic polyester housing for durable environmental protection

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Medical interconnect systems requiring robust signal transmission
• Agricultural technology equipment operating in harsh environments
• Industrial control panels utilizing standardized card edge modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required polarization keys and mounting configurations. Confirm that the target printed circuit board thickness aligns precisely with the specified 1.57 mm dimension to guarantee proper mechanical engagement and contact integrity during assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for non-specified dual-edge cards. Ensure the application environment remains within the -40°C to +105°C operational range. Verify that the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength meet the system's electrical safety requirements before final integration into the design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles designed for general-purpose electronic applications. The 305-068-555-204 specifically addresses needs for high-density connections with standardized spacing and robust mechanical retention capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with differing position counts or mounting angles. Cross-reference compatible polarizing key accessories to maintain mechanical alignment standards if replacing with similar industry-standard connectors.
