305-080-556-578

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-080-556-578 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 series, designed for dual-row applications with 80 positions. It features a contact spacing of 3.96 mm (0.156 inches) and a row spacing of 3.56 mm (0.140 inches). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 1.57 mm (0.062 inches). It utilizes gold-plated copper alloy contacts and a thermoplastic insulator body, rated for a current of 5 A.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual female configuration with gold-plated copper alloy contacts
• Low profile thermoplastic insulator body design
• Vertical panel mount installation style

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• High-density electronic interconnects
• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications equipment

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official EDAC documentation to confirm compatibility with your board thickness and mounting requirements. Ensure that the dual-row configuration aligns with your PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness specifications to guarantee mechanical fit before procurement.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-pin-count vertical connection is required for 0.062-inch thick PCBs. The dual-row arrangement maximizes I/O density within a limited footprint. Consider the 5 A current rating and gold plating for reliable signal integrity in demanding environments compared to single-row alternatives.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This component belongs to the EDAC 305 series of standard card edge connectors. The series offers various position counts and mounting options, providing a modular solution for board-to-board or backplane connections. The 305 series is characterized by its robust construction and standardized dimensions, facilitating integration into diverse electronic assemblies.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same series include models with different position counts but identical pitch and board thickness, such as the 305-070-556-568 or 305-054-556-278. Verify that any replacement maintains the 3.96 mm pitch and 1.57 mm board thickness specification.
