Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official EDAC documentation to confirm exact flange and threading specifications, as variations exist within the 305 series. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to procurement. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required PCB thickness and mounting style for your specific application design constraints.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card interface with 80 positions is required. The 3.96 mm pitch suits applications needing robust mechanical stability. Verify compatibility with the target PCB edge thickness range of 1.37 mm to 1.78 mm. Consider the vertical panel mount style and solder pin termination method during layout planning to ensure proper fit and electrical connection integrity.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, including threaded and unthreaded flanges. The 305-080-556-568 specifically denotes an 80-position variant with dual-edge capability, designed for demanding environments requiring durable connections and precise alignment.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Consult the EDAC 305 Series Ordering Guide for direct substitutes. Variants such as 305-080-555-568 share similar electrical characteristics but differ in flange threading specifications. Ensure any replacement maintains the same 80-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge configuration to preserve mechanical and electrical compatibility.
