305-080-520-204

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-204 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, featuring an 80-position dual female configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact pitch and a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for .062 inch (1.57 mm) nominal thickness printed circuit boards, it employs gold-plated copper alloy contacts with a solder pin termination type. The unit supports a current rating of 5 A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact flange and mounting variations. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm before procurement. Cross-reference the RoHS status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer's latest catalogs to maintain supply chain compliance and project timelines.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 80-position interface is required for panel-mounted applications. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates larger gauge traces compared to finer pitches. Verify that the system environment remains within the specified -40°C to +105°C operating range. Confirm that the solder pin termination method aligns with the assembly process capabilities of the manufacturing facility.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and position counts. The series is characterized by its durable construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating integration into diverse electronic assemblies. Similar models in the series may differ in position count or mounting hardware but share core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series variants with matching 80 positions and 3.96 mm pitch, such as 305-080-520-201 or 305-080-520-568, provided the mounting flange requirements are identical. Always verify mechanical footprint and electrical ratings before swapping components.
