305-080-555-203

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-555-203 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for panel mounting applications. It features 80 positions arranged in two rows with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). Constructed with copper alloy contacts and gold plating, it utilizes a solder termination method. The insulator body is made of thermoplastic polyester, providing a low-profile design suitable for dense electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix code to confirm the exact flange configuration and mounting style, as variations exist within the 305 series. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB thickness range and verify that the gold contact finish meets the required environmental standards for the intended operational environment.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-density, double-row connection is required for panel-mounted installations. The 0.156-inch pitch accommodates standard board layouts, while the robust copper alloy contacts ensure durability. Confirm that the vertical orientation aligns with the mechanical constraints of the enclosure design.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors, which are widely used in industrial and commercial electronics. The series offers various position counts and mounting styles, providing a versatile solution for connecting edge-board modules to backplanes or chassis panels in structured environments.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other EDAC 305 series parts sharing the same 80-position count and 0.156-inch pitch. Verify that alternative models match the required panel mount style and board thickness specifications before substitution.
