305-068-556-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-068-556-212 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 68 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and supports a PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The housing is green thermoplastic, and the unit is panel-mounted vertically.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to confirm plating thickness and insulation material properties. Ensure the target application requires the 3.96 mm pitch specification. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status matches project regulatory requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 68 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility are critical constraints. Verify that the vertical panel mount orientation aligns with the mechanical enclosure design and thermal management needs.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts while maintaining consistent 3.96 mm spacing. The 305 series is widely used in general-purpose electronic applications requiring robust mechanical locking and stable electrical performance.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or housing colors. Cross-reference compatible parts from other manufacturers only if mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings match exactly.
