305-080-520-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-507 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mount vertical installation. It features an 80-position dual-row configuration with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing and a 3.56 mm row spacing. The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). Electrical specifications include a current rating of 5 A and a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms. The contacts are gold-plated on the mating area, while the tails feature tin plating over nickel underplating.

• Low-profile insulator body constructed from thermoplastic material
• Gold-plated mating surfaces ensure reliable signal transmission
• Panel mount style with vertical orientation for secure PCB integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust board-to-board connections
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing standard card edge interfaces
• Automotive electronics applications needing high-reliability connectors
• Test and measurement instrumentation hardware

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm plating details and package type. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness of 1.57 mm. Confirm that the 80-position dual-row layout matches the design footprint. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized channels.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density 80-position interface is required. The 3.96 mm pitch offers a balance between density and manufacturability. Consider the vertical panel mount style for space-constrained enclosures. Verify that the 5 A current rating meets the electrical load requirements. Ensure the dual-edge card type is compatible with the connector geometry.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of card edge connectors. The series provides various position counts and mounting options. The 305 series is known for its reliability in harsh environments. The specific model number indicates the position count, row configuration, and plating details. It is a standard industrial-grade connector suitable for demanding applications.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include other position variants like 305-040-520-507 or 305-050-520-507. Cross-series replacements require verifying pitch and mechanical dimensions. Ensure any alternative maintains the 3.96 mm spacing and dual-row configuration.
