305-078-555-512

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-078-555-512 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount installation with a vertical orientation. It features 78 positions in a dual row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a solder termination type. It supports board thicknesses ranging from 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual row female contact configuration for non-specified dual-edge boards
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount design with vertical orientation for secure integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard board thicknesses
• Test and measurement devices needing high-density connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the target application requires a 3.96 mm pitch and dual-row configuration. Confirm compatibility with the specified board thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Ensure the mounting style aligns with panel installation requirements. Check for RoHS compliance if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count interface is necessary for vertical panel mounting. The 78-position capacity suits complex circuit boards requiring extensive I/O. Consider the gold plating for environments where corrosion resistance is critical. Evaluate the thermal operating range against expected ambient conditions during operation.

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 305-078 variant specifically addresses needs for higher density connections while maintaining the established 3.96 mm spacing standard used in many legacy and modern industrial designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with identical 78-position dual-row specifications. Verify that alternative models match the 3.96 mm pitch and vertical panel mount style. Cross-reference termination types to ensure solder pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts.
