305-076-555-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-076-555-501 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 76 positions with dual female contacts. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch nominal thickness printed circuit boards, the unit employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic insulator body. The component supports panel mounting in a vertical orientation with solder pin termination, ensuring reliable electrical interconnection.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm contact plating, insulation color, and termination type match project requirements. Confirm that the nominal PCB thickness of 0.062 inches aligns with the mechanical design constraints of the target assembly before finalizing procurement orders.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 76-position interface is required for thick PCB applications. Ensure the mating board features dual-edge conductive traces compatible with the 3.96 mm pitch. Verify that the operating temperature range meets environmental specifications for the intended deployment scenario.

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 to accommodate diverse electronic packaging needs. The 305-076 variant specifically addresses applications requiring robust connectivity for moderately sized circuit boards within constrained panel spaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference alternative suppliers for equivalent 76-position dual-edge connectors with matching 3.96 mm pitch. Ensure substitute components maintain identical PCB thickness tolerance and mounting orientation to preserve mechanical fit and electrical performance.
