305-076-500-258

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-076-500-258 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications with vertical orientation. It features 76 positions and a 3.96 mm pitch, accommodating a board thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize solder eyelet termination. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms insulation, it supports dual-edge card insertion.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Provides high dielectric strength with 1800 VACrms insulation rating
• Features gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standardized card edge interfaces
• Test and measurement devices needing polarized connection stability

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code against the manufacturer datasheet to confirm exact termination style and mounting configuration. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm and verify that the 76-position layout matches the design footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation before integration.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a vertical panel-mount solution with 76 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible card edge dimensions. Consider the solder eyelet termination method for assembly processes. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the circuit requirements and that the polarizing key options align with system safety protocols.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which offer various contact terminations, mounting options, and insulator types. The series is engineered for high-reliability applications in demanding environments, providing consistent performance across different position counts and row configurations within the same structural family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other 305-series variants with matching 76 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify identical panel mount orientation and solder eyelet termination styles. Ensure equivalent electrical ratings and physical dimensions before substituting to maintain mechanical fit and electrical integrity.
