305-076-500-568

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-076-500-568 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount applications. It features 76 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder pin termination for secure electrical connections. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration for non-specified card edge applications
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable conductivity
• Thermoplastic insulator body for structural integrity

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge modules
• Test and measurement devices needing high-reliability signal connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official EDAC documentation to ensure correct housing color and flange configuration. Confirm that the target application supports the required 1.57 mm board thickness and 3.96 mm pitch. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability and compliance status before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, panel-mount solution is required for 76-position card edge assemblies. Ensure the design accommodates the specified 3.96 mm spacing and 1.57 mm PCB thickness constraints. Verify that the operating environment falls within the -40°C to +105°C range and that the 5 A current rating meets the system's electrical requirements without exceeding thermal limits.

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 electronics. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing flexibility for different enclosure designs. The 305-076-500-568 specifically addresses the need for a mid-range position count with a durable panel-mount form factor.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 76 positions and 3.96 mm pitch. Verify mechanical compatibility regarding panel cutout dimensions and flange specifications. Alternative manufacturers offering identical electrical ratings and physical dimensions should be evaluated for cross-compatibility.
