305-080-520-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-501 is a standard card edge connector designed for high-reliability applications. It features an 80-position dual-row configuration 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). Constructed with copper alloy contacts plated with gold, it provides a continuous current rating of 5 A and withstands 1800 VACrms insulation voltage. The housing utilizes thermoplastic polyester material.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Accepts between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys for secure alignment
• Low profile insulator body design for compact integration
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Automotive electronic modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact pin count, plating specifications, and mounting style before ordering. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the required current rating of 5 A meets the system's electrical demands. Check regional availability as distribution may vary by location.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row card edge interface with 80 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard 2.54 mm connectors. Verify that the panel mount or vertical orientation matches the mechanical assembly constraints. Ensure the operating temperature range of -40 C to +105 C aligns with the environmental conditions.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and configurations to support diverse electronic interconnection needs. The 305 series is characterized by its durability and compliance with industry standards for harsh environments. It serves as a critical interface between flexible or rigid printed circuits and host systems.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include parts with identical pitch and row spacing but different position counts, such as 305-048-520-501 or 305-038-520-502. Cross-series replacements require careful verification of mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings to ensure functional equivalence.
