305-080-520-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-202 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge board insertion. It features 80 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The contacts are made of copper alloy with gold plating and utilize a half-beam spring contact type. This panel-mount header supports PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and carries a 5A current rating.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female connector design accepting non-specified dual-edge cards
• Half-beam spring contact type ensures reliable electrical connection
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for corrosion resistance
• Panel mount installation style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronics modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC ordering guide to ensure correct flange and termination specifications. Confirm that the required PCB thickness falls within the 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm operational range. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for your assembly process.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 80-position interface is required for dual-edge boards. Ensure the mating card thickness aligns with the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch for trace routing density and the 5A current rating for power distribution needs in the target application.

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 options. The 305-080 variant specifically provides a high-contact count solution for applications needing extensive signal or power lines in a compact vertical profile.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series parts with matching 80-position, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge specifications. Verify mechanical dimensions and flange configurations before swapping to ensure panel fitment compatibility.
