305-068-555-504

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-555-504 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features a dual female configuration with 68 positions and a pitch of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The connector supports a board thickness of 1.57 mm and utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts. It offers a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms insulation voltage. The unit employs a solder lug termination type and includes compatibility with between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order matches the 305-068-555-504 designation to ensure correct pin count and termination style. Confirm that the mating PCB meets the 1.57 mm thickness requirement for proper engagement. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Ensure that polarizing key requirements are addressed during mechanical design integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required for panel-mounted installations. The 68-position layout suits applications needing substantial I/O density within a single connector footprint. Consider the 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms dielectric strength for power or signal integrity needs. Verify that the solder lug termination method aligns with your manufacturing capabilities.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which provides standard card edge connectors characterized by a 3.96 mm pitch. The series offers various position counts and termination options to accommodate different circuit board designs. EDAC manufactures these connectors using copper alloy contacts with gold plating to maintain conductivity and corrosion resistance over time.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and contact count but differing termination styles or insulator colors. Cross-series replacements require matching the 3.96 mm pitch and 68-position layout while verifying mechanical fit and electrical ratings.
