305-080-521-202

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-521-202 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge mating applications. It features 80 positions arranged in two rows with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports panel mount installation via solder pin termination and accommodates board thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female contact configuration for secure card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Thermoplastic polyester housing provides structural stability
• Panel mount design with solder pin termination for robust integration

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-density interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Automotive electronic modules
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm flange characteristics and thread options, as these vary within the 305 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement. Ensure the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm for proper mechanical fit.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge female connector with 80 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wider spacing between contacts. Verify that the panel mount style aligns with the enclosure design. Consider the operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C for environmental suitability.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and flange configurations. The 305-080-521-202 specifically denotes an 80-position dual-edge variant. It is distinct from single-edge or different pitch connectors within the broader EDAC portfolio.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 305-series parts like 305-080-555-568 for similar electrical specs but verify mechanical differences such as flange threading and mounting style before substitution.
