305-068-556-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-556-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual female edgeboard applications. It features 68 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports two rows of contacts. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy terminals with a half-bead contact type and solder pin termination. It accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. Rated at 5 A, it employs a thermoplastic polyester housing and includes flange features for panel mounting.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including all suffix codes to ensure correct pitch, plating, and mounting style. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for any regional distribution restrictions or limited availability notices before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female card edge connector with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. Ensure the mating PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range. Consider the vertical panel mount orientation and the need for gold-plated contacts in your application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations, maintaining consistent pitch and mounting standards across different variants to facilitate modular design and interchangeability within compatible system architectures.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 68-position dual female specifications. Verify that alternative models maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch, terminal plating, and mechanical dimensions to ensure direct fitment without redesign.
