Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness, housing color, and termination style variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness of 1.57 mm before integration. Cross-reference the 76-position count with schematic requirements to prevent mismatched interface configurations during assembly planning.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge solution with a 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power distribution needs. Verify that the application environment falls within the specified -40°C to +105°C operational range. Confirm that the solder pin termination method aligns with the available PCB mounting space and manufacturing processes.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination options. The 305-076-500-578 specifically addresses the need for high-density connections in dual-edge applications. It represents a standardized industrial-grade interconnect solution within the broader EDAC portfolio.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 76-position counts and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-076-520-578, provided the housing material and termination style match the design requirements.
