305-080-520-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-207 is a standard card edge connector designed for dual-edge PCB insertion. It features 40 positions with a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It utilizes semi-bellows female contacts plated with gold, housed in a green thermoplastic insulator body. The component supports a continuous current rating of 5 A and offers high insulation resistance.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure board alignment
• Semi-bellows contact design ensures reliable electrical connection to card edges
• Low profile insulator body facilitates compact panel mounting configurations

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust card edge interfaces
• Communication equipment utilizing standardized module form factors
• Medical devices needing reliable vertical panel-mounted connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific position count and contact configuration against the official datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the required polarizing key compatibility matches the system design requirements. Ensure the thermal operating range aligns with the application environment specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar series variants.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-edge card interface with 3.96 mm pitch is required. The 5 A current rating suits moderate power applications. Verify the 1.57 mm board thickness compatibility with the target PCB design. Consider the vertical panel mount style for integration into chassis structures. Check availability of compatible polarizing keys if mechanical locking is necessary.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context
