305-080-555-201

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-555-201 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge female applications. It features 80 positions arranged in two rows with a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a green thermoplastic polyester insulator. It supports solder termination and accommodates board thicknesses ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Rated for 5 A current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration for non-specified card insertion
• Gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure reliable signal transmission
• Green thermoplastic polyester insulation provides durability
• Solder termination facilitates secure PCB mounting

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust interconnects
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces
• General-purpose electronic circuit board connections

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact plating thickness and flange characteristics. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer datasheets. Cross-reference ordering numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Validate environmental ratings against operational requirements.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-row, 80-position interface is required for non-specified cards. Consider the 0.156-inch pitch constraint for trace routing. Evaluate the 5 A current rating against load requirements. Verify that the operating temperature range meets system thermal profiles. Assess mechanical stability needs regarding the absence of mounting lugs in this specific variant.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and termination styles. The 305-080-555-201 specifically addresses high-density connection needs with its 80-position layout. It complements other variants in the lineup by providing a dual-edge female option without integrated mounting hardware.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EDAC 305-080-555-568 and 305-080-520-201. Verify pin count, pitch, and contact type match before substitution. Check for differences in flange features or mounting lug configurations. Ensure electrical ratings remain compatible with the original design specifications.
