305-070-500-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-070-500-578 is a standard card edge connector header from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with a vertical orientation. It features 70 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector supports PCB thicknesses of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and 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 and includes flange features for secure installation.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with 70 positions for high-density signal transmission
• Gold-plated contacts on copper alloy substrate ensuring reliable conductivity
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation and integrated flange features
• Compatible with double-sided card edge boards within specified thickness limits

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment utilizing standard card edge modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct contact plating, housing material, and flange configuration. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm operational range. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 specifications if required for the target application environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a 70-position dual-row interface is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits standard card edge designs. Consider the 5 A current rating and -40°C to +105°C operating range for environmental suitability. Verify that the solder pin termination method aligns with the assembly process and that the flange mounting style meets the chassis requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial applications. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing a scalable solution for board-to-board or backplane connections. The 305 series is characterized by its durable thermoplastic housing and reliable gold-plated contact system.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting variations. Cross-reference with other EDAC series such as the 355 or 387 if higher temperature ratings or different form factors are needed. Ensure any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration.
