305-080-521-501

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-521-501 is a dual-edge female card edge connector designed for vertical panel mounting. It features 80 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch and accepts board thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. The contacts are made of copper alloy with a gold finish, providing a continuous current rating of 5 A and a voltage rating of 1800 VACrms. The housing is green thermoplastic polyester, operating within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration supporting between-contact and in-contact polarizing keys
• Vertical panel mount design with solder lug termination
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts for reliable signal transmission
• High voltage insulation rating suitable for demanding applications

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring high-voltage isolation
• Medical interconnect solutions
• Agricultural technology equipment
• General-purpose backplane connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the official EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide to ensure correct contact type and mounting style. Confirm that the target PCB thickness falls within the specified 0.054 to 0.070 inch range. Check RoHS3 compliance status if required by project specifications. Ensure compatibility with the intended polarizing key system before finalizing procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-position-count dual-edge connector is required for vertical panel installation. The 3.96 mm pitch accommodates standard board layouts while the 5 A rating supports moderate power distribution. Consider the 1800 VACrms rating for applications needing enhanced electrical isolation. Verify mechanical fit with existing chassis and PCB constraints prior to selection.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various mounting options and position counts. The series is designed for robust performance in industrial and medical environments. The 305-080 variant specifically provides 80 positions, balancing density and spacing for complex circuit interfaces.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes with different position counts or mounting styles. Cross-reference compatible polarizing keys from the same series. Verify that alternative parts maintain the 3.96 mm pitch and 5 A current rating.
