305-080-520-508

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-520-508 is a standard card edge connector featuring 80 positions arranged in a dual-row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and is designed for PCBs with a thickness of 1.57 mm. The contacts are gold-plated copper alloy, rated for 5 A current, with an insulation resistance of 5 GOhms. Operating temperatures range from -40 C to +105 C. The housing is green thermoplastic, and it employs vertical panel mount installation with solder pin termination.
