305-080-555-212

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-555-212 is a dual-edge female card edge connector featuring 80 positions with a 0.156-inch (3.96mm) pitch. It utilizes copper alloy contacts with 10.0µin gold plating and half-beam contact types. Designed for panel mount installation, the unit includes threaded flange features for secure attachment. The housing is constructed from thermoplastic polyester in green, supporting PCB thicknesses between 0.054 and 0.070 inches. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-edge female configuration with half-beam contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Threaded flange design ensures secure panel mounting stability
• Gold-plated copper alloy terminals provide corrosion resistance
• Thermoplastic polyester insulation supports high-temperature operation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control system interconnections
• Telecommunications equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrument interfaces
• Automotive electronics modules

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 212 against official EDAC documentation to confirm the presence of threaded flange features and panel mount orientation. Ensure compatibility with target PCB thickness specifications ranging from 0.054 to 0.070 inches. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status prior to final integration into regulated assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust dual-edge interface with mechanical locking via threaded flanges is required. The 0.156-inch pitch suits applications needing wider spacing than standard 0.100-inch connectors. Verify that the target printed circuit board accommodates the specified panel mount footprint and hole patterns for the threaded inserts.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series, which specializes in heavy-duty card edge connectors. The series offers various configurations including non-specified dual-edge designs. The 305 series is engineered for demanding environments requiring durable electrical connections and secure mechanical retention through specialized mounting hardware options.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with EDAC part numbers sharing the same 0.156-inch pitch and 80-position count. Verify that alternative models match the threaded flange mounting style and half-beam contact type. Ensure insulation material and operating temperature ranges are equivalent to maintain environmental performance standards.
