305-082-500-502

Edgeboard Connectors Overview

The EDAC Inc. 305-082-500-502 is a standard card edge connector from the 305 Series, designed for dual-edge board applications. It features 82 positions with a contact spacing of 0.156 inches (3.96 mm) and a row spacing of 0.140 inches (3.56 mm). The connector accepts printed circuit boards with a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches (1.57 mm). It utilizes wire hole type contacts with gold plating and a thermoplastic insulator body.

Edgeboard Connectors Feature Summary

• Dual-row configuration for high-density interconnects
• Gold-plated wire hole contacts for reliable signal transmission
• Low-profile insulator body design
• Panel mounting style with vertical orientation

Edgeboard Connectors Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring robust edge connections
• Communication equipment backplanes
• Test and measurement instrumentation interfaces

Edgeboard Connectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the official EDAC datasheet to ensure compatibility with required board thickness and mounting hardware. Confirm that the gold plating specification meets the environmental requirements for the intended application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm current availability and lead times, as supply chain status may vary by region.

Edgeboard Connectors Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-edge card edge connector with 82 positions is required. Ensure the mating PCB has a thickness of approximately 1.57 mm to fit within the specified acceptance range. Verify that the panel mounting style aligns with the mechanical enclosure design. Consider the 3.96 mm pitch for trace routing constraints on the connected circuit board.

Edgeboard Connectors Part Context

This part belongs to the EDAC 305 Series, which offers various position counts and mounting options. The series is characterized by its .156 inch contact spacing and low-profile construction. The 305-082-500-502 specifically provides an 82-position solution, distinguishing it from lower or higher count variants within the same family.

Edgeboard Connectors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 82-position count, 3.96 mm pitch, and dual-edge female configuration. Verify that any alternative part supports the same 1.57 mm board thickness and panel mounting style. Consult the EDAC ordering guide for cross-referencing similar series components if exact matches are unavailable.
