305-070-555-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-070-555-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 70 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm. Constructed with copper alloy contacts featuring gold plating, it supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Features a low-profile insulator body for compact panel integration
• Utilizes half-beam spring contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Panel-mounted electronic interconnect systems
• Industrial control module backplanes
• Telecommunications equipment chassis connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with required polarizing key configurations and flange thread specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness aligns with the specified 1.57 mm nominal requirement before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row female connector is required for vertical panel installation. Ensure the design accommodates the 3.96 mm pitch and verifies support for polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary. Check insulation resistance and voltage ratings against system requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, utilizing thermoplastic polyester insulators and gold-plated copper alloy contacts.
