305-080-500-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-500-201 is a standard card edge connector receptacle featuring 80 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts PCBs with thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches (1.37 to 1.78 mm). The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, providing a 5 A current rating and 1800 VACrms insulation voltage. Designed for panel mounting without lugs, it employs a solder termination type and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.
