305-078-555-558

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-078-555-558 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 78 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports dual-edge card types. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and solder lug termination. It is rated for 5 A current and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Dual-edge compatibility for specified card types
• Thermoplastic insulation housing

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust panel-mounted interconnects
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Medical device internal circuit board connections
• Energy management system hardware interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct contact plating and housing color specifications. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the 1.37mm to 1.78mm operational range. Check current availability status as distribution may vary by region. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 requirements if applicable to the end application.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 78-position connection is required in a vertical configuration. The 3.96mm pitch allows for substantial trace spacing compared to finer pitches. Consider the 5A current rating for power or signal lines. Verify that the dual-edge card slot requirement matches the application's mechanical constraints and that the operating temperature range suits the environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles. The 305 series is characterized by its thermoplastic housing and durable copper alloy contacts. It serves as a general-purpose interconnect solution for mixed-signal applications in industrial and commercial electronics.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 series ordering guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or termination styles. Cross-reference with other EDAC series such as the 315 or 355 if higher temperature or different mechanical profiles are needed. No third-party cross-references are confirmed in public documentation.
