305-080-555-207

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-555-207 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 80 positions with a 3.96 mm (0.156 inch) pitch and supports two contact rows. The connector utilizes female contacts made of copper alloy with gold plating on the mating area and tin plating with nickel underplating on the tails. It accommodates PCB thicknesses between 1.37 mm and 1.78 mm. Rated for 5 amps current, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and offers a maximum contact resistance of 10 milliohms.

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix matches the required termination type and insulation color. Confirm that the PCB thickness falls within the specified 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm range to ensure proper mechanical fit. Check RoHS compliance status against project requirements. Ensure panel mounting hardware aligns with the flange specifications provided in the official datasheet.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge configuration is mandatory for the system architecture. The 3.96 mm pitch dictates compatible board layout dimensions. Consider the 5 amp current rating for power distribution needs. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the final assembly location.

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 options. The 305-080-555-207 specifically addresses high-density dual-edge applications. It complements other EDAC connectors by providing standardized interface dimensions for modular electronic designs.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 80-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-row configuration. Verify compatibility with existing panel cutouts and PCB stack-up heights. Cross-reference manufacturer-specific mounting hole patterns if alternative brands are considered.
