305-070-520-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-070-520-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features a dual-row configuration with 70 positions and a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches). The row spacing measures 3.56 mm, accommodating printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are constructed from copper alloy with gold plating, rated for 5 A current. The insulator body is green thermoplastic, supporting an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration with low-profile insulator body
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Vertical panel mount style with solder pin termination
• Compatible with 1.57 mm nominal thickness PCBs

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge connections
• Communication equipment interface modules
• Medical device internal board-to-board interconnects
• Energy sector electronic assemblies

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure correct flange features and mounting hardware compatibility. Confirm that the required PCB thickness aligns with the 1.57 mm specification before procurement. Check regional availability as distribution status may vary by location. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation is obtained if required for your specific manufacturing standards.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density dual-row connection is needed for thick PCBs. The 3.96 mm pitch allows for substantial trace spacing compared to finer pitches. Consider the vertical panel mount orientation for chassis integration. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical requirements of the application. Compare against other 305 series variants if different row spacings or flange options are preferred.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which offer various mounting options and configurations. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and robust construction suitable for demanding environments. Similar parts in the series differ primarily in position count, row spacing, and flange characteristics, allowing for modular design approaches across different product lines.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts like 305-070-556-568, which shares the 70-position count and 3.96 mm pitch but may differ in flange features. Always cross-reference the mechanical drawings and terminal type to ensure interchangeability without modifying the host panel or PCB layout.
