305-080-521-507

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC 305-080-521-507 is a standard card edge connector featuring 80 positions arranged in a dual row configuration. It utilizes a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) contact spacing with a 3.56 mm row spacing. Designed for panel mount vertical installation, the connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inch). The contacts are constructed from copper alloy and feature gold plating to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for 5 A continuous current and 1800 VACrms dielectric voltage, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm mechanical variations such as flange type or termination style. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness and polarizing key requirements before procurement. Cross-reference the component number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability status and lead times.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this model when a dual-row connection with 80 positions is required for vertical panel mounting. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing wide trace spacing. Verify that the mating card edge thickness falls within the specified tolerance range. Consider the gold contact finish for environments requiring corrosion resistance and stable contact impedance.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts ranging from 18 to over 100. The series maintains consistent mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings across different pin counts, allowing for modular design scalability. The 305-080 variant specifically addresses mid-to-high density connectivity needs within the same form factor family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other EDAC 305 series connectors with identical 80-position dual-row specifications. Verify that alternative part numbers maintain the same 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness acceptance. Check for matching termination types and flange configurations to ensure physical interchangeability.
